Image, news, video & shopping search
Web search is the default. Suede also searches four other verticals — images, news, videos, and shopping — and you reach each from its own tab above the results, or by URL.
The tabs
Run any search, then click a tab to switch the vertical without retyping the query. The tabs are Web, Images, News, Videos, and Shopping, in that order. The active tab is marked, and the query carries across, so moving from web to images and back is one click each way.
The URL scheme
Each vertical has its own path. Web results live at the bare /search; the others add a plural segment:
| Vertical | URL |
|---|---|
| Web | /search?q=… |
| Images | /search/images?q=… |
| News | /search/news?q=… |
| Videos | /search/videos?q=… |
| Shopping | /search/shopping?q=… |
The segment is always the familiar plural (images, videos), even where Suede's internal name for the vertical is
singular. A ?q= you can read and edit makes every vertical bookmarkable and shareable.
Refining a vertical
Image, news, and video results carry a per-search filter bar — size, type, color and rights for images, duration for videos, recency ordering for news. Image, video, and shopping results also offer display modes: grid, justified, or masonry layouts for images, grid or list for the others. Filters reset with each search; your display mode sticks.
How each vertical pages
The verticals differ in how they show more results, because the content differs.
- Web uses a numbered pager below the results: a window of page numbers around the current page, with
‹ Prev and Next › at the ends. Each page is a fresh URL (
?p=2,?p=3, …), so it is bookmarkable and the browser's Back button returns you to the exact page you left. The forward extent stops where results run out, so a page you can click is a page that has results. The count line above the results reports how many distinct results have been retrieved — see Result counts. - Images uses infinite scroll. The first screen of thumbnails loads with the page; as you scroll, Suede fetches more and fills the grid, several pages ahead of where you are, so the next images are already there when you reach them. No pager, no clicking — just keep scrolling.
- News, videos, and shopping present a single ranked list per search.
