a title for the search result,
text from a particular web page corresponding to the search result,
information identifying an address of the particular web page, or
one or more links to one or more web pages associated with a domain corresponding to a web site associated with the particular web page.
8. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more server devices, a search query;
determining, by the one or more server devices, search results based on the search query,
the search results including:
a first search result corresponding to a first web page of a plurality of web pages from a first domain, and
a second search result corresponding to a second web page from a second domain that is different from the first domain; and
providing, by the one or more server devices, information regarding the search results for presentation on a display of a client device,
the information regarding the search results including, for the first search result, a first reference to the first web page and a second reference to one of the plurality of web pages,
each of the first reference and the second reference comprising a link to a respective one of the first web page and the one of the plurality of web pages,
the one of the plurality of web pages being selected based on a measure of quality for the one of the plurality of web pages, and
the measure of quality, for one of the plurality of web pages, relating to a quantity of times that the one of the plurality of web pages has been accessed.
