  • Patent number: 11853348
    Abstract: Multidimensional digital content search techniques are described that support an ability of a computing device to perform search with increased granularity and flexibility over conventional techniques. In one example, a control is implemented by a computing device that defines a multidimensional (e.g., two-dimensional) continuous space. Locations in the multidimensional continuous space are usable to different search criteria through different weights applied to the criteria associated with the axes. Therefore, user interaction with this control may be used to define a location and corresponding coordinates that may act as weights to the search criteria in order to perform a search of digital content through use of a single user input.
