obtaining a search query, wherein the search query is associated with a particular topic;

obtaining a plurality of tiles and an initial interface based on the search query, wherein each of the plurality of tiles is associated with a respective media content item of a plurality of content items, wherein the plurality of content items are associated with the topic, and wherein the initial interface is associated with the plurality of content items;

providing the initial interface to a user computing device;

receiving a selection associated with the initial interface;

providing a first tile and a second tile of the plurality of tiles simultaneously, wherein the first tile and the second tile are provided in a carousel interface, wherein the first tile is associated with a first sub-topic of the topic, and wherein the second tile is associated with a second sub-topic of the topic, wherein the first sub-topic and the second sub-topic differ, and wherein the first tile and the second tile comprise image data associated with a respective sub-topic for the respective tile;

receiving a tile selection, wherein the tile selection comprises a user input selecting a particular tile of the plurality of tiles;

obtaining supplemental content associated with a selected content item associated with the particular tile; and

providing the supplemental content to the user computing device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first tile comprises a first media snippet generated based on image data obtained from a first web resource, wherein the first media snippet is associated with the first sub-topic.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second tile comprises a second media snippet generated based on image data obtained from a second web resource, wherein the first media snippet is associated with the second sub-topic.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of tiles comprise map tile descriptive of a location associated with a location content item, wherein the location content item is associated with a third sub-topic.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the particular topic is associated with a particular restaurant, wherein the first sub-topic is associated with map data for the particular restaurant, and wherein the second sub-topic is associated with a food item for the particular restaurant.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the supplemental content comprises an informational graphic pop-up.

17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations, the operations comprising:

obtaining a search query, wherein the search query is associated with a particular topic;

obtaining a plurality of tiles and an initial interface based on the search query, wherein each of the plurality of tiles is associated with a respective media content item of a plurality of content items, wherein the plurality of content items are associated with the topic, and wherein the initial interface is associated with the plurality of content items;
