  • providing, from a user device to a search system, a search query;

    receiving, at the user device, a first set of search results in response to a first submission of the search query to the search system;

    providing, from the user device to the search system and in response to the first set of search results, data that indicates a user of the user device did not find, from the first set of search results, information the user was looking for;

    in response to a subsequent automatic second submission of the search query to the search system, wherein the search query was previously provided to the search system, receiving, at the user device, an updated set of search results that includes at least one search result that is responsive to the search query and that was determined by the search system to be different from any search result previously provided to the user device in response to the search query; and

    displaying, at the user device, (i) an indication that the at least one search result is different from any search result previously provided to the user device in response to the search query, (ii) the search query, and (iii) the at least one search result that is different from any search result previously provided to the user device in response to the search query.
