Abstract

A SYSTEM AND RELATED TECHNIQUES ACCEPT USER-INPUTTED SEARCH TERMS, FOR EXAMPLE TO PERFORM A SEARCH FOR FILES OR OTHER DATA OR OBJECTS. CORRESPONIDNG MATCHES TO THOSE TERMS MAY BE PRESENTED TO THE USER IN A "WORD-WHEEL"-TYPE BREAKOUT LIST GENERATED ON THE FLY FOR GROUPINGS OF HITS BY ATTRIBUTES OR OTHER CRITERIA, AS THE SYSTEM SEARCHES THROUGH THE FILE SYSTEM (118) AT THE CURRENT LEVEL (120) OR POINT IN THE FILE SYSTEM HIERARCHY. ACCORDING TO EMBODIMENTS, WHEN THE SEARCH LOGIC FAILS TO LOCATE A HIT ON THE INPUTTED SEARCH TERM AT THE CURRENT LEVEL (120) OR POINT IN THE FILE SYSTEM HIERARCHY, AN EXTENSION OF THE SEARCH TO DIFFERENT LEVELS OR POINTS IN THE FILE SYSTEM HIERARCHY MAY BE AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED, AND FOR INSTANCE PRESENTED TO THE USER AS A SELECTABLE SEARCH BOX (114). THAT BOX (114) MAY FOR EXAMPLE BE HIGHLIGHTED TO THE USER FOR EASY SELECTION. WHEN THE USER DOES SELECT THE SELECTABLE SEARCH BOX (114), THE USER'S SEARCH, FOR INSTANCE FOR FILES OF TYPE OR EXTENSION "DOC" OF "MEMO", MAY BE SEAMLESSLY EXTENDED TO OTHER FILES, FOLDERS, TREES OR OTHER POINTS OR LEVELS IN THE FILE SYSTEM HIERARCHY. SEARCH RESULTS MAY BE CONTINUOUSLY OR DYNAMICALLY UPDATED AS THE USER, FOR EXAMPLE, ENTERS MORE CHARACTERS OR OTHER DATA.
