1. A method comprising:
- accessing data indicative of resource links in a resource;
identifying, by a data processing system, menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether a number of resource links in another resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies a depth criteria, wherein the menu links include at least a first menu link and a second menu link;
in response to identifying menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether the number of resource links in the other resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies the depth criteria, identifying, by the data processing system, an association of a first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and an association of a second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource;
receiving a query;
determining that the resource is responsive to the query; and
in response to determining that the resource is responsive to the query, providing search results that are responsive to the query, the search results comprising a resource representation for the resource generated based on the association of the first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and the association of the second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource, the resource representation comprising;
presentation content for display on a user device, the presentation content comprising;
two or more menu indicators, wherein a first menu indicator is associated with the first menu link and the second menu indicator is associated with the second menu link;
display information, wherein the display information includes at least one of the resource links; and
instructions executable by a processor to cause, in response to selection of the second menu indicator associated with the second menu link, a display of the presentation content to be updated within the search results to include at least some of the plurality of the resource links associated with the second menu link.

Abstract
A method and system for providing user-navigable search results returns a resource representation for a resource, such as a web site or other Internet accessible object. The resource representation may be navigable by a user in a manner mirroring navigation of the resource. The resource representation may include a plurality of indicators representing menu links selected from resource links associated with the resource. Selection of an indicator may cause content associated with the indicator, such as resource links and related snippets, to be displayed. A hierarchical arrangement of elements in the resource representation may correspond to a hierarchical arrangement of navigable content in the resource.

7. A data processing system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and computer readable media accessible to the one or more processors, storing processor executable program instructions, the program instructions including instructions executable to cause the one or more processors to; access data indicative of resource links in a resource; identify menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether a number of resource links in another resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies a depth criteria, wherein the menu links include at least a first menu link and a second menu link; in response to identifying menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether the number of resource links in the other resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies the depth criteria, identify an association of a first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and an association of a second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource; receive a query; determine that the resource is responsive to the query; and in response to determining that the resource is responsive to the query, provide search results that are responsive to the query, the search results comprising a resource representation for the resource generated based on the association of the first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and the association of the second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource, the resource representation comprising; presentation content for display on a user device, the presentation content comprising; two or more menu indicators, wherein a first menu indicator is associated with the first menu link and a second menu indicator is associated with the second menu link; and display information, wherein the display information includes at least one of the resource links, wherein a display of the presentation content, in response to selection of the second menu indicator associated with the second menu link, is updated within the search results to include at least some of the plurality of the resource links associated with the second menu link. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable media storing computer executable program instructions, the program instructions including instructions executable to cause a processor to:
-
access data indicative of resource links in a resource; identify menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether a number of resource links in another resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies a depth criteria, wherein the menu links include at least a first menu link and a second menu link; in response to identifying menu links from the resource links in the resource based on whether the number of resource links in the other resource linked to by each of the resource links satisfies the depth criteria, identify an association of a first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and an association of a second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource; receive a query; determine that the resource is responsive to the query; and in response to determining that the resource is responsive to the query, provide search results that are responsive to the query, the search results comprising a resource representation for the resource generated based on the association of the first plurality of the resource links in the resource with the first menu link identified from the resource links in the resource and the association of the second plurality of the resource links in the resource with the second menu link identified from the resource links in the resource, the resource representation comprising; presentation content for display on a user device, the presentation content comprising; two or more menu indicators, wherein a first menu indicator is associated with the first menu link and a second menu indicator is associated with the second menu link; and display information, wherein the display information includes at least one of the resource links, wherein a display of the presentation content, in response to selection of the second menu indicator associated with the second menu link, is updated within the search results to include at least some of the plurality of the resource links associated with the second menu link. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
