overscrolling
Scrolling beyond content
Overscrolling is scrolling past the edge of content on a touchscreen or trackpad, where the interface briefly stretches or bounces before snapping back.
The elastic effect signals you've reached the end: I kept overscrolling trying to find more results.
Some interfaces use overscrolling to trigger actions like refreshing a page.
