Each SERPS offers the option of Search Verticals like Images, News, and Videos, Maps, Social Updates & more. I.e. you can see the news section added by images or videos featuring related images

Horizontal Navigation

Search Engines also provides different types of navigation elements like the limitation of the date range of the content that are to be shown the Search Results
