On iphone, type "cat", hit enter key, see 2657 cat photos (possibly worlds smallest online collection of cat photos but still...)

This is cool, and reminds me of the book illustrations and images released last month - there seems to be a corner turned in opening up collections, in as GP implies, knocking holes in the walls of the gardens.

I am impressed by this too. Kudos to the big museum in DC.

As for your experience, well perhaps a cat was sitting on your keyboard while you searched? They can be annoying like that

Did you actually see all of them? Using Firefox Preview on Android, I got told that there were this many results, but I was only shown a handful before I had to tap on "view more".


There is no solution for displaying 2657 cat photos in a client browser in 2020 which does not include one of the following:

* some sort of pagination, like a iterating "See more" button or the classic "Next page" stuff

* fancy JS in the background simulating that process making the page much heavier, ruining accessibility and most likely the back button

* instantly draining the clients monthly data, crashing the device, timeouting the server and making the infrastructure team cry, roughly in that order
