1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

presenting, in response to an initial search term and on a display of a computer system, a plurality of matching results corresponding to the initial search term;

presenting, on the display and concurrent with the plurality of matching results, at least one selectable control that represents an additional search term, other than the initial search term, that is selectable to refine the plurality of matching results based at least in part on the additional search term;

determining, in response to a selection of a first selectable control of the at least one selectable control, a second plurality of matching results, wherein:

the first selectable control represents a first additional search term; and

the second plurality of matching results is based at least in part on the first additional search term; and

presenting, on the display of the computer system, at least a portion of the second plurality of matching results.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein

determining the second plurality of matching results includes refining the plurality of matching results according to the first additional search term represented by the first selectable control to produce refined matching results as the second plurality of matching results; and

presenting at least a portion of the second plurality of matching results includes presenting, on the display of the computer system, visual representations of the refined matching results.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

replacing, on the display of the computer system, the first selectable control with a second selectable control that corresponds to a second additional search term that is different than the first additional search term.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a visual characteristic of a first digital item visually representative of a first matching result of the plurality of matching results; and

presenting, on the display of the computer system, a first selectable control representative of a first search term, the first selectable control having the determined visual characteristic of the first digital item.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the visual characteristic of the first digital item is a predominant color of the first digital item.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the additional search term corresponds to a characteristic of at least one of the plurality of matching results.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining the additional search term based at least in part on the plurality of matching results.

8. A computing system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to at least:

present, in response to an initial search term, a plurality of visual representations of a plurality of matching results corresponding to the initial search term;

present, concurrent with the plurality of visual representations, a first selectable control representative of a first additional search term, other than the initial search term, that is selectable to refine the plurality of matching results based at least in part on the first additional search term;

determine, in response to a selection of the first selectable control, a second plurality of matching results based at least in part on the first additional search term; and

present, on the display of the computer system, at least a portion of the second plurality of matching results.

9. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to at least:

determine, based at least in part on an input, a plurality of potential search terms corresponding to the input;

present the plurality of potential search terms; and

receive a selection of a potential search term of the plurality of potential search terms as a selection of the initial search term.

10. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the first additional search term is determined based at least in part on one or more of a user preference, a search history, a demographic, a popularity of matching results corresponding to an additional search term when combined with the initial search term, a location of a user, a time of day, or an external event.

11. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to at least:

determine, based at least in part on a characteristic of at least one of the plurality of matching results, the first additional search term.

12. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to at least:

receive a selection of a characteristic option of a plurality of characteristic options; determine a third plurality of matching results based at least in part on the initial search term and the characteristic option; and

present a second plurality of visual representations of at least some of the third plurality of matching results.

13. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to at least:

present a second selectable control representative of a second additional search term that is different than the first additional search term and different than the initial search term.

14. The computing system of claim 8 , wherein the program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to at least:

determine a visual characteristic of a first digital item visually representative of a first matching result of the plurality of matching results; and

wherein the first selectable control has a visual characteristic of the first digital item.

15. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein the visual characteristic of the first digital item is a color of the first digital item.

16. A method, comprising:

presenting, in response to a first search term, a first plurality of matching results responsive to the first search term;

presenting, concurrent with the plurality of matching results, a plurality of additional search terms that are selectable for refining the plurality of matching results;

determining, in response to a selection of a first additional search term from the plurality of additional search terms, a second plurality of matching results based at least in part on the first additional search term; and

presenting at least a portion of the second plurality of matching results.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein:

determining the second plurality of matching results includes refining the first plurality of matching results according to the first additional search term to produce refined matching results; and

presenting at least a portion of the second plurality of matching results includes presenting the refined matching results.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

determining a visual characteristic of a first digital item visually representative of a first matching result of the first plurality of matching results; and

presenting a second additional search term of the plurality of additional search terms such that the second additional search term has the visual characteristic of the first digital item.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

determining a second additional search term of the plurality of additional search terms based at least in part on a quantity of results of the second additional search term and the first search term.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

determining a second plurality of additional search terms corresponding to a second additional search term of the plurality of additional search terms, wherein the second plurality of additional search terms include only additional search terms that would result in at least one matching result based on a combination of the second additional search term and a third additional search term of the second plurality of additional search terms.
