1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a computing system, a query that was generated based on query input at a client communication device;

    generating, by the computing system, a search result that is responsive to the query;

    identifying, by the computing system, predicted information that the client communication device would request in response to a selection of the search result by user input at the client communication device; and

    causing the search result and the predicted information to be transmitted to the client communication device both (i) after the query has been received by the computing system and (ii) before the selection of the search result by the user input at the client communication device, thereby enabling the client communication device to display the predicted information upon the selection of the search result by the user input at the client communication device without the client communication device specifically requesting the predicted information from the computing system, wherein the search result comprises data for causing the client communication device to generate a display of the search result that includes (i) a display of a hyperlink to a web page that is responsive to the query, and (ii) a separate display of a description of the web page.
