Abstract
A search engine determines a number of pages to present to a user based on one or more of a variety of factors. The search engine may send the search results to a client machine, which may present a subset of the results along with a pagination control in a scrollable interface. The pagination control may present the number of pages determined by the search engine. The search engine may also determine a number of search results to present prior to the presentation of non-scrollable user interface (UI) elements based on the same or different factors. After the amount of scrolling exceeds a threshold, a non-scrollable UI element may be displayed. Additional thresholds may exist, such that additional non-scrollable UI elements are added as the user continues to scroll.
