1. A computer-implemented method of providing information to a user, comprising:
- under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,identifying a size of a scrollable information set;
determining, based at least in part on the size, a graphical map that facilitates user input for navigating from a currently displayed subset of the scrollable information set to one or more undisplayed subsets of the scrollable information set;
providing for display of a first subset of the scrollable information set in connection with a user interface that includes a scrolling control and the graphical map;
receiving user input in connection with the user interface; and
responsive to the user input;
determining one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by the user, the one or more subsets of the scrollable information including one or more web-based search results that have been accessed by the user; and
modifying the graphical map to indicate the determined one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by the user.

Abstract
Techniques described and suggested herein include systems and methods for navigating content in the form of a scrollable information sets. In an embodiment, a portion of a scrollable information set is displayed on a user device. As the user navigates through the information set, one or more location indicators are modified. The location indicators each correspond to a position within the information set and are configured to facilitate user input for navigating to a corresponding position within the information set.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more computer systems to perform a method of providing information, the method comprising:
-
identifying a size of a scrollable information set; determining, based at least in part on the size, a graphical map that facilitates user input for navigating from a currently displayed subset of the scrollable information set to one or more undisplayed subsets of the scrollable information set; providing for display of a first subset of the scrollable information set in connection with a user interface that includes a scrolling control and the graphical map; receiving user input in connection with the user interface; and responsive to the user input; determining one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by a user, the one or more subsets of the scrollable information including one or more web-based search results that have been accessed by the user; and modifying the graphical map to indicate the determined one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for providing content, comprising:
a computing device comprising a display and at least one processor, the at least one processor is configured to; identify a size of a scrollable information set presented on the display; determine, based at least in part on the size, a graphical map presented on the display that facilitates user input for navigating from a currently displayed subset of the scrollable information set to one or more undisplayed subsets of the scrollable information set;
userprovide for display of a first subset of the scrollable information set in connection with a user interface that includes a scrolling control and the graphical map; receive user input in connection with the user interface; and responsive to the user input; determine one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by a user, the one or more subsets of the scrollable information including one or more web-based search results that have been accessed by the user; and modify the graphical map to indicate the determined one or more subsets of the scrollable information set that have been accessed by the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
