Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting content. In one aspect, a method includes determining that user interaction with a search result has occurred, where the search result was presented in a results pane of a display. A browsing pane is generated in which a landing page for the search result is presented. The browsing pane is presented over a portion of the results pane. The portion of the results pane is bounded by an edge of the display and a pane edge of the browsing pane, where the pane edge is located at an initial display location. A user swipe is determined to have occurred, and in response to the user swipe the pane edge is relocated to a target display location.
