Abstract: A search and find user interface is provided that is integrated with a data indexing engine to allow efficient and high-speed data search and retrieval across data storage folders associated with a given software module or associated with a number of disparate software modules. An expanded form of the search and find user interface is provided for advanced searching. Where searching is required beyond a present search scope, an automatic “upscoping” mechanism is provided for expanding a search to data storage folders outside a current data storage folder on which an initial search is executed.

Abstract: An application provides a search box that is configured to enable a user to enter searchable text. The application provides a quick pick search provider menu that is configured to include different sections that provide suggestions as text is entered into the search box. At least some of the suggestions are locally maintained, and at least some other of the suggestions are received from one or more remote search providers. In some embodiments, the application can comprise a web browser.

Abstract: Building a data template for a mobile computing device. An aggregate usage profile correlates past usage of services by a mobile computing device that is associated with a user identifier with past usage of the services by other computing devices that are also associated with the user identifier. Presence information concerning a current presence of the mobile computing device includes a physical location and/or a temporal state. Portions of information, which are relevant to the current presence of the mobile computing device, are identified based on the aggregate usage profile. The portions of information include data from the services that is identified as being data that the user will want to access given the current presence of the mobile computing device. A data template, which is configured to present the portions of information at the mobile computing device, is built and pushed to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable information, in addition to textual information, to be presented to a user when the user enters a search query in a search box forming part of a user interface of an application. In one or more embodiments, a Web browser provides a search box in which a user can enter a search query. While the user is entering a search query, the Web browser can communicate with a third-party search provider to receive information, such as non-textual information, which can be presented to the user to assist in formulating their search query. The non-textual information can include images and other visual information of a non-textual nature.

Abstract: Mobile communications devices display contextually relevant information based on the presence, status, and identification of a user. Lens templates control how the information is displayed and can be customized and designed for specific usage profiles. The lenses that are used can be updated at any time to accommodate changes in a user's presence. The granularity of the lenses and corresponding information can also vary to accommodate different needs and preferences. Lenses can also be specialized for different events or venues. The lenses allow a user to access contextually relevant information from a mobile communications device having limited display and/or browse capabilities without requiring a user to navigate through undesired information, wasting valuable resources in the process.

Abstract: A Web browser includes a quick pick search provider menu that provides a user interface which provides a user with the ability to quickly select a new search provider which appears when the user places focus in the Web browser's search box. In one or more embodiments, the Web browser's search box comprises a native part of the Web browser and is not a search box associated with an installed tool bar. In other embodiments, search box functionality is provided as an extension to the Web browser. Further, various embodiments enable the user to switch between search providers in an easy and intuitive way. Yet other embodiments provide an opportunity for users to switch between search providers using keywords in the search box. Further embodiments enable users to define collections of search providers to which individual searches can be sent.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a tab within a web browser user interface to be dragged out of an associated tab band in which it appears. When dragged outside of the tab band, content can be rendered within a window associated with the tab. This permits side-by-side viewing of content in the primary web browser user interface as well as the window associated with the tab that has been dragged out of the tab band. In one or more embodiments, content that is associated with a dragged tab's window can include live content, such as multimedia presentations.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a notification bar user interface control that is designed to help users maintain focus on their browsing activities, while offering notifications in the form of suggestions. In at least some embodiments, the notification bar user interface control is non-modal and is presented at a location within the browsing field-of-view that is selected to reduce user distraction. Further, in at least some embodiments, the notification bar user interface control is presented in a manner which overlays content of the web page and thus, does not cause layout of the web page to be changed.
