providing the related content through the client device.

2. The method of claim 1 , the evaluating the multi-touch gesture comprising:

utilizing a visual effect to indicate the area of interest identified based upon the multi-touch gesture.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising:

receiving feedback associated with the identification of the area of interest from the user based upon the visual effect; and

responsive to the feedback indicating an improper identification for the area of interest, adjusting the area of interest.

4. The method of claim 1 , the providing the related content comprising:

providing a second user interface comprising search results corresponding to related content; and

responsive to the user selecting a search result for a related content item, displaying a third user interface comprising the related content item.

5. The method of claim 1 , the client device comprising a touchscreen device configured to display the user interface and the multi-touch gesture comprising a pinch-in gesture or a pinch-out gesture.

6. The method of claim 1 , the client device comprising an augmented reality display device configured to display the user interface and the multi-touch gesture comprising a multi-hand pinch gesture.

7. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

responsive to identifying the context, performing an initial search of content based upon the context to identify initial related content;

the performing the search comprising at least one of:

filtering the initial related content based upon the first potential query search term to obtain a set of filtered related content; or

expand the initial related content based upon the first potential query search term to obtain a set of expanded related content.

8. The method of claim 1 , the related content comprising a plurality of search results associated with the first potential query search term.

9. The method of claim 1 , comprising:

displaying an input box through a second user interface;

prompting the user to enter at least one of a keyword or phrase associated with the context into the input box; and

responsive to the keyword or phrase being entered into the text input box, utilizing the keyword or phrase to perform a secondary search.

10. The method of claim 1 , the related content comprising at least one of:

a news article, a user review, an electronic dictionary definition, an electronic encyclopedia entry, a route to a destination, a translation, an wide-area network search result, a local network search result, a local device search result, or contact information.

11. The method of claim 1 , the providing the related content through the client device comprising:

displaying the related content through a second use interface;

the method comprising:

responsive to receiving a pinch-out gesture, transitioning from the second user interface to the user interface.

12. The method of claim 1 , the performing a search of content comprising:

performing the search based upon a user interest associated with the context to identify related content associated with the user interest.

13. The method of claim 12 , comprising:

evaluating a user profile associated with the user to identify the user interest associated with the context.

14. The method of claim 1 , the providing the related content comprising:

providing search results corresponding to the related content through a pop-up notification overlaid over the user interface.

15. A system for providing related content associated with a multi-touch gesture to a user, comprising:

a processor; and

memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to implement a search component configured to:

receive a multi-touch gesture through a first user interface of a client device associated with a user;

evaluate the multi-touch gesture to identify an area of interest of the first user interface;

evaluate the area of interest to identify context associated with the area of interest;

identify a plurality of potential query search terms based upon the context;

provide the plurality of potential query search terms through a second user interface of the client device;

responsive to receiving a selection of a first potential query search term of the plurality of potential query search terms, perform a search of content based upon the first potential query search term to identify related content; and

provide the related content through the second user interface of the client device.

16. The system of claim 15 , the processor-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to implement:

a visualization component configured to:

responsive to identifying an area of interest, provide a visual effect indicative of the area of interest.

17. The system of claim 16 , the visualization component configured to:

receive feedback from the user associated with the identification of the area of interest based upon the visual effect provided; and

responsive to the feedback indicating an improper identification for the area of interest, provide a second visual effect in response to an adjustment to the area of interest.

18. The system of claim 15 , the search component configured to:

perform an initial search of content based upon the context to identify initial related content;

the performing the search comprising at least one of:

filtering the initial related content based upon the first potential query search term to obtain a set of filtered related content items; or

expanding the initial related content based upon the first potential query search term to obtain a set of expanded related content items.

19. The system of claim 15 , the search component configured to:

display a text input box through the second user interface;

prompt the user to enter a keyword or phrase associated with the context into the text input box; and

utilize the keyword or phrase as a secondary input to perform a second search.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for providing related content associated with a multi-touch gesture to a user, comprising:

receiving a multi-touch gesture through a first user interface of a client device associated with a user;

evaluating the multi-touch gesture to identify an area of interest of the first user interface;

evaluating the area of interest to identify context associated with the area of interest;

performing a search of content based upon the context to identify related content associated with the context;

providing the related content as related content search results through a second user interface;

identifying a plurality of potential query search terms based upon the context;

providing the plurality of potential query search terms through the second user interface;

receiving a selection of a first potential query search term of the plurality of potential query search terms; and

filtering the related content search results based upon the first potential query search term to generate a filtered set of related content search results.
