  • Publication number: 20110302177
    Abstract: A system for facilitating accessing or retrieving desired data via use of graphically displayed search/sort toggle functionality. In an example embodiment, the method includes providing a first user option to toggle between display of a search control and a sort control. Search results are displayed in response to user input provided via the search control. Note that default search results may be initially displayed. A portion of the search results may be displayed simultaneously with one or more controls associated with the first user option. In a more specific embodiment, the example method further includes displaying search results simultaneously with one or more sort controls in response to user selection of the first option when one or more search controls are initially displayed. Hence, display of search and sort controls may be toggled via the first option while any search results are simultaneously displayed along with the controls.
