Abstract
A user interface is disclosed that operates in conjunction with a search engine browser to present localized information that pertains to specific areas of interest. As characters of a search query are being entered into the browser, they are provided to one or more servers that are associated with respective domains of information. If information within those domains corresponds to the search query being entered, an indication is provided to the user of those results, in addition to any input provided by the search engine browser. The user interface enables the user to access the results, even before the search is conducted, to quickly learn about items from the domains that may be of possible interest.
