Search Results - Examples

This page captures common patterns in the return of search results.

The Problem

Many web sites, particularly search engines, return a partial "window" in a much larger dataset of results. We'd like to figure out the optimal way to represent that. Note that this is also the goal of the OpenSearch Response specification, but at this point they don't seem to have specified HTML encodings. In fact, such an encoding is a likely outcome of this effort.
