Patent number: 8667004Abstract: Various embodiments enable information, in addition to textual information, to be presented to a user when the user enters a search query in a search box forming part of a user interface of an application. In one or more embodiments, a Web browser provides a search box in which a user can enter a search query. While the user is entering a search query, the Web browser can communicate with a third-party search provider to receive information, such as non-textual information, which can be presented to the user to assist in formulating their search query. The non-textual information can include images and other visual information of a non-textual nature.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Tariq Sharif, Warren G Stevens, Sebastien Zimmermann, Sean Lyndersay, Amy Adams Placzkiewicz, Eric A Vera, Jonathan A Gass, Benjamin N Truelove, Sharon Cohen, Mike Pell

Patent number: 8479118Abstract: A Web browser includes a quick pick search provider menu that provides a user interface which provides a user with the ability to quickly select a new search provider which appears when the user places focus in the Web browser's search box. In one or more embodiments, the Web browser's search box comprises a native part of the Web browser and is not a search box associated with an installed tool bar. In other embodiments, search box functionality is provided as an extension to the Web browser. Further, various embodiments enable the user to switch between search providers in an easy and intuitive way. Yet other embodiments provide an opportunity for users to switch between search providers using keywords in the search box. Further embodiments enable users to define collections of search providers to which individual searches can be sent.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Sean Lyndersay, Warren G Stevens, Benjamin N Truelove, Amy Adams Placzkiewicz, Sebastien Zimmermann, Tariq Sharif, Eric A Vera, Sharon Cohen, Mike Pell, Jonathan A Gass

Publication number: 20130007667Abstract: A menu structure is provided which allows a user of a computing device to more easily consolidate and navigate images and/or albums regardless of their location. Moreover, the menu structure is dynamically tailored to individual users based on their previous interactions with the people appearing in the images/albums. The menu includes icons representing images (e.g., photos) or collections of images that have been categorized based in part on metadata respectively associated with the images. The metadata may have been provided by tagging the images or posting the images on one or more social networking sites. The order in which the icons are presented on the menu or interface may be based on their relative relevance or importance to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron Sauve, Jannes Paul Peters, Marc David McClure, Kathryn Lemson, Divya Tyamagundlu, Ian Middleton, Sushil Kumar, Peter Bohac, Aravind Narayanan Manimandiram, Gary Daniels, Jonathan Gass
