  • Enhanced Client And Server Systems for Operating Collaboratively Within Shared Workspaces
    Publication number: 20090327405
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for enhanced client and server systems for operating collaboratively within shared workspaces. These tools may provide methods that include receiving document content associated with a workspace that is shared with one or more client systems. The client system may facilitate and manage the shared workspace. These methods may include receiving search commands that reference a search string, and searching the document content within the shared workspace for the search string. If the search string occurs anywhere within the shared workspace, the methods may report where the search string occurs within the shared workspace.
