Claims (40)

1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, a query;

obtaining, by one or more processors, a plurality of search results that are responsive to the query;

obtaining, by one or more processors, content from a social networking service that is responsive to the query and related to a particular search result of the plurality of search results, the content comprising a post published to the social networking service;

modifying, by one or more processors, the particular search result to provide a revised search result comprising a summary of the post from the social networking service, the summary comprising a portions of the content;

providing, by one or more processors, for display the revised search result and an interface component, the interface component being provided with the revised search result; and

receiving, by one or more processors, a request for interacting with the content, the request being provided through the interface component, and in response:

modifying the revised search result to include all of the content of the post from the social networking service to display the complete post with the particular search result.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving the request for interacting with the content and displaying information received during the interaction together with the revised search result.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises viewing the content from the social networking service.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises sharing the content from the social networking service.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises commenting on the content from the social networking service.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: displaying information about at least one content from an expert related to the query together with the revised search result.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

receiving a query;

obtaining a plurality of search results that are responsive to the query;

obtaining content from a social networking service that is responsive to the query and related to a particular search result of the plurality of search results, the content comprising a post published to the social networking service;

modifying the particular search result to provide a revised search result comprising a summary of the post from the social networking service, the summary comprising a portions of the content;

providing for display the revised search result and an interface component, the interface component being provided with the revised search result; and

receiving a request for interacting with the content, the request being provided through the interface component, and in response:

modifying the revised search result to include all of the content of the post from the social networking service to display the complete post with the particular search result.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving the request for interacting with the content and display information received during the interaction together with the revised search result.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises viewing the content from the social networking service.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises sharing the content from the social networking service.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises commenting on the content from the social networking service.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the computer to: display information about at least one content from an expert related to the query together with the revised search result.

13. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a query;

obtaining, by one or more processors, a plurality of search results that are responsive to the query;

obtaining, by one or more processors, content from a social networking service that is responsive to the query and related to a particular search result of the plurality of search results, the content comprising a post published to the social networking service;

modifying, by one or more processors, the particular search result to provide a revised search result comprising a summary of the post from the social networking service, the summary comprising a portions of the content;

providing for display the revised search result and an interface component, the interface component provided with the revised search result; and

receiving a request for interacting with the content, the request being provided through the interface component, and in response:

modifying the revised search result to include all of the content of the post from the social networking service to display the complete post with the particular search result.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises viewing the content from the social networking service.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises sharing the content from the social networking site.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the request for interacting with the content comprises commenting on the content from the social networking site.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computer is further configured to: display information about at least one content from an expert related to the query together with the revised search result.
