  • Patent number: 8370346
    Abstract: Architecture that enables a user to connect, search, and review information under a mobile context by interacting through a micro-browser. The current “Find” experience can now be made part of the document search functionality thereby allowing the user to enter one or more keywords to quickly search and obtain the information desired. The “Find” feature can be part of the micro-browser viewer and solves the current inability of the user to view and read documents on the small display of the mobile device. Additionally, users can choose to search from the current page or from the beginning of the document. Results are listed with the keyword(s) emphasized (e.g., highlighted) in a portion of the content in which the keyword(s) was found. The page number can also be presented. Each result can be presented is an active link that automatically navigates the user directly to the associated keyword of the page.
