Abstract: A menu search system allows a user to search through a menu structure, rather than only navigate hierarchically through the menu structure. When a user selects a menu search mode, the menu search system allows the user to enter text and, as the text is entered, searches the menu hierarchy for menu items with names that match the text. The menu search system then displays the matching menu items so that the user can select a displayed menu item of interest.

Abstract: User interface web services are provided. In one embodiment, a user interface web service includes a control structure, a communications interface, and a processor. The control structure is utilized to facilitate generation of a device dependent user interface. The communication interface receives an indication of an interaction with the device dependent user interface, and the processor generates a delta in response to the interaction. The control structure may be organized hierarchically, and the delta may identify a change to the control structure, metadata, state, or other data associated with the device dependent user interface. Additionally, the delta may include information about the flow of a UI such as, but not limited to, which page, dialogs, etc. are shown to the user.
