First Claim
1. One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for providing uniform resource locators (URLs) related to search results determined for task-oriented search queries input by users, the method comprising:
- receiving a search query input by a user;
determining that the input search query is a task-oriented search query utilizing at least one query log;
identifying at least one search result that satisfies the task-oriented search query;

Abstract
Methods, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for identifying and presenting rich related sites for task-oriented search queries. Upon receipt of a search query input by a user, one or more query logs are analyzed to determine if the search query is a related to a task being performed by the user. If the query is determined to be a task-oriented search query, search results are identified, as is one or more Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) related to a particular search result. The related URL is presented to the user in association with the particular search result. Additional controls, e.g., search tools that facilitate querying of those URLs determined to be relevant to a particular search result, may also be provided to aid the user in performing the task at hand.

9. A computerized method for providing uniform resource locators (URLs) related to search results determined for task-oriented search queries input by users, the method comprising:
-
receiving a search query input by a first user via a first computing device during a first search session; presenting a first plurality of search results satisfying the input search query in association with a display device associated with the first computing device; receiving a selection of one of the first plurality of search results from the first user via the first computing device; receiving a request from the first user via the first computing device to navigate to a URL that differs from a URL corresponding to the selected one of the first plurality of search results;
