Publication number: 20140344249Abstract: A method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) are presented for providing a single-action approach for initiating a record search, for example, in a list displayed in an electronic device (apparatus) such as a computer. The presented solution may provide a user with a single-action (single-click) capability to directly perform context-based (e.g., sender-based, recipient-based, subject-based, etc.) searches. From the user point of view, the presented solution may be intuitive enough having a low bar for discoverability, so that search results may be reached with relative ease, thus increasing pageview capabilities. Then manual creation of filters or typing terms in a search box is no longer necessary. The embodiments described herein may provide the user a quick and efficient way to search for messages and triage those messages for read, reply, deletion, or other actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2013Publication date: November 20, 2014Inventor: Vince Magistrado
