  • Patent number: 9959347
    Abstract: Subject matter described herein includes a multi-layer search-engine index. Accordingly, the search-engine index is divided into multiple indexes, each of which includes a respective set of information used to serve (i.e., respond to) a query. One index includes a term index, which organizes a set of terms that are found among a collection of documents. Another index includes a document index, which organizes a set of documents that are searchable. A computing device is used to serve the search-engine index (i.e., to analyze the index when identifying documents relevant to a search query). For example, a solid-state device might be used to serve the multi-layer search-engine index.

  • Publication number: 20150103010
    Abstract: In some examples, pointing functionality is integrated with one or more keys of a keyboard. For instance, a precision pointing surface can be integrated with a key, such as the “J” key, that allows a user to manipulate a pointer on a display. In some situations, one or more touch-sensitive surfaces can also be integrated on other keys to provide clicking functionality. For example, a touch-sensitive surface can be integrated onto a left portion of a spacebar to allow left clicking capability and a touch-sensitive surface can be integrated onto a right portion of the spacebar to allow right clicking capability. In some instances, one or more touch-sensitive surfaces can be used to enable and disable the precision pointing surfaces and other touch-sensitive surfaces.
