ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and medium are provided for presenting a user-interface to a user during a search session that includes information about the user's search history during that search session. A search session is instantiated, and search queries, search results, user selections of search results, and other information is recorded. Search results pages provided to the user in response to queries include a session tracker module that displays interactive information associated with recent search queries issued by the user during the same session, such that the user can quickly recall previously issued queries and corresponding search results.
