Description

扩展的搜索和查找用户界面
背景
随着计算机时代的到来，计算机软件用户变得习惯于帮助他们写作、计算、组织、准备演示、发送和接收电子邮件、制作音乐等用户友好软件应用程序。电子邮件应用程序使用户能向其他用户发送电子邮件并从其接收电子邮件。电子邮件应用程序使用户能将已发送和接收的邮件存储在多种用户建立的存储文件夹中。电子日程表应用程序使用户能在电子介质中维护各种日程表信息，诸如约会。联系人应用程序使用户能维护、排序和访问联系人信息，诸如各个人员和实体的名称、地址、电话号码、电子邮件地址等。例如任务应用程序、笔记应用程序和日志应用程序等其他应用程序使用户能创建、维护和存储诸如任务、笔记、日志条目等各种电子数据。开发出多功能应用程序，采用该应用程序，例如电子邮件、日程表、联系人、任务、笔记、日志等各种软件模块通过使用户能按需在不同软件模块之间切换的单个软件应用程序可用。
有了这种软件应用程序，用户通常将大量数据存储在与每个应用程序相关联或与多功能应用程序的不同软件模块相关联的各个存储位置中。例如，用户通常将接收到的电子邮件项目、已发送的电子邮件项目以及甚至是已删除的电子邮件项目存储在与电子邮件应用程序相关联的一个或多个存储文件夹中。用户将诸如约会等日程表信息存储在个人日程表、商务日程表、社交日程表等中。可以存储诸如名称、地址、电话号码、电子邮件地址等多种联系人信息。用户使用这种应用程序存储的其他信息包括存储在一个或多个存储位置的笔记、任务、日志项目等。
开发出搜索和查找机制，用于定位与特定的搜索属性或特征相关联的一特定存储的数据项目或多个存储的数据项目(例如邮件项目、联系人项目、日程表项目等)。但是，现有的搜索和查找机制通常在整个数据存储区域(例如所有接收到的电子邮件)上搜索，而不提供搜索组成较大存储区域的子存储区域的机会。由此，这种搜索往往是缓慢的，并且通常返回并不特别地与搜索相关的大量数据。如果执行这种搜索并没有返回任何可接受的结果，那么通常需要用户进行扩展或高级搜索。然而，不经常使用这种搜索和查找功能的一般用户通常不具有对一个或多个所需数据项目进行更高级的搜索所需的技能或耐性。此外，通常用户在例如收件箱文件夹等特定的存储区域中进行搜索，当所需项目并不位于其中时只会感到受挫。在许多情况下，所需项目被存储了，但不是存储在用户搜索的存储位置中，而且用户缺少高效地地将搜索范围改变成包括其他搜索位置的手段。
由于这些和其他考虑，作出了本发明。
概述
提供了本概述，用于以简化的形式引入将在以下具体实施方式中进一步描述的一些概念。本概述并不旨在标识所要求保护的主题的关键特征或必要特征，它也不旨在用于协助确定所要求保护的主题的范围。
本发明的各实施例通过提供集成用于高效且高速数据搜索和检索的数据索引引擎的改进的搜索和查找功能解决了上述和其他问题。提供了简化的搜索和查找用户界面，所述界面在可选数据存储文件夹和给定软件模块(例如电子邮件软件模块)的其他用户界面组件附近显示。搜索和查找用户界面可用于搜索存储在与给定软件模块相关联的特定存储文件夹(例如与电子邮件模块相关联的已发送邮件文件夹)中的数据。依照一实施例，如果期望高级搜索，那么提供搜索和查找用户界面的扩展形式，以允许进行基于诸如接收的日期、发送的日期、附件的存在、标记或链接的存在等与期望数据项目相关联的属性的定制的搜索。
如果期望更广的搜索，那么给定搜索会被自动“升级范围(upscope)”，这样使得能将给定的搜索请求应用到更广范围的数据上(例如，与电子邮件模块相关联的所有电子邮件文件夹)。在具有例如电子邮件、电子日程表、联系人、任务、笔记、日志等多个软件模块的多功能软件应用程序的情况下，简化和扩展搜索和查找用户界面及相关联的功能都可以在不同的软件模块上用于搜索和检索与不同模块相关联的数据。
阅读以下详细描述并查看相关联的附图，表征本发明的这些和其他特征和优点将变得显而易见。应该理解，以上一般描述和以下详细描述都仅是解释性的，而并不旨在限制所要求保护的本发明。

。
计算设备100可以具有其他的特征和功能。例如，计算设备100也可以包括诸如磁盘、光盘或磁带的其他数据存储设备(可移动和/或不可移动)。这种其他的存储在图1中用可移动存储109和不可移动存储110示出。计算机存储介质包括以用于储存诸如计算机可读指令、数据结构、程序模块或其它数据等信息的任一方法或技术实现的易失性和非易失性，可移动和不可移动介质。系统存储器104、可移动存储109和不可移动存储110都是计算机存储介质的示例。计算机存储介质包括但不限于，RAM、ROM、EEPROM、闪存或其他存储器技术、CD-ROM、数字通用盘(DVD)或其它光盘存储、磁盒、磁带、磁盘存储或其它磁存储设备、或可以用来储存所期望的信息并可由计算机100访问的任一其它介质。任何这种计算机存储介质可以是设备100的部分。计算设备100也可以具有输入设备112，诸如键盘、鼠标、笔、语音输入设备、触摸输入设备等。也可以包括诸如显示器、扬声器、打印机等输出设备114。这些设备在本领域中是公式的，无需在此赘述。
计算设备100也可以包括使设备可以诸如通过分布式计算环境中的网络(例如内联网或互联网)与其他计算设备118通信的通信连接116。通信连接116是通信介质的一个示例。通信介质通常具体化为诸如载波或其它传输机制等已调制数据信号中的计算机可读指令、数据结构、程序模块或其它数据，并包括任一信息传送介质。术语“已调制数据信号”指以对信号中的信息进行编码的方式设置或改变其一个或多个特征的信号。作为示例而非局限，通信介质包括有线介质，如有线网络或直接连线连接，以及无线介质，如声学、射频(RF)红外线和其它无线介质。此处所使用的术语计算机可读介质包括存储介质和通信介质两者。
图2示出了显示导航窗格、邮件列表窗格和预览窗格的电子邮件应用程序用户界面的计算机屏幕显示。用户界面200表示电子邮件应用程序用户界面，其中可以向用户显示各种电子邮件项目。本领域的技术人员应该理解，图2中所示的用户界面200以及用户界面200中所示的示例内容仅是为了示例，而非限制或约束可以在电子邮件应用程序用户界面中提供的大量不同类型的电子邮件内容和功能。接着参考图2，图2中所示的用户界面200包括多种功能按钮，包括文件按钮205、编辑按钮215、视图按钮220以及工具栏225，工具栏中可显示各种可选功能控件(未示出)，用于选择对用户界面200中显示的数据操作的功能。
沿着用户界面200的右侧是预览窗格290。在预览窗格290中，可以显示选定或给定电子邮件消息的内容，以便使用户能快速地审阅给定电子邮件消息的部分或全部内容。在用户界面200的中间显示邮件箱列表窗格285。邮件箱列表窗格285可以是收件箱、已发送邮件箱、未读邮件箱、特定邮件文件夹邮件箱等形式。列表窗格285包括与给定邮件数据类型(例如接收到的、已发送的、未读的、文件夹等)相关联的接收到的或已发送的电子邮件项目的清单。本领域的技术人员应该理解，列表窗格285可以选择性地用与可经由用户界面20审阅的不同类型的邮件项目相关联的收件箱窗格、发件箱窗格、已发送邮件项目窗格、未读邮件窗格或与各种其他窗格来替换。依照本发明的各实施例，在预览窗格290中提供的内容是列表窗格285中列示的电子邮件项目的关键。
沿用户界面200的左侧的是导航窗格230。导航窗格230可以包括与可经由用户界面200显示和/或编辑的各种类型的数据相关联的可选项目。例如，收藏夹文件夹部分236包括示例个人邮件文件夹(例如“Joe的邮件”)、商务邮件文件夹(例如“项目A”邮件)以及杂项文件夹(例如“旧的邮件”)。对这些文件夹之一的选择导致显示相关联的窗格285和290，如上所述。例如，对“项目A”文件夹的选择导致显示收件箱邮件列表窗格285以及相关联的电子邮件预览窗格290，其中在列表窗格285中显示来自“项目A”文件夹的邮件项目列表，且其中在预览窗格290中显示选定邮件项目的预览。
导航窗格230中包含的其他部分240包括与例如电子邮件模块等当前使用中的软件模块相关联的各种数据文件夹。“所有邮件”文件夹275包括与使用中的邮件模块相关联存储的所有邮件项目。“所有邮件”文件夹用作包含总的“所有邮件”文件夹中包含的数据项目的子集的多个子文件夹或孩子文件夹的父文件夹。例如，“收件箱”文件夹包含接收到的电子邮件项目。“未读”文件夹可以包含还没有阅读的电子邮件项目。“已发送”文件夹可以包含已发送的邮件项目。
在导航窗格230的下端是软件应用程序模块选择区域。软件模块选择区域包括与不同软件应用程序相关联的可选控件，所述不同软件应用程序可以被选择以用于启动相关联的应用程序和相关联的用户界面200。例如，对邮件控件255的选择会导致启动相关联的电子邮件应用程序和显示电子邮件应用程序用户界面200，如图2中所示。类似地，对日程表控件260的选择会导致启动电子日程表应用程序和导致显示相关联的日程表应用程序用户界面200。对联系人控件265的选择导致启动联系人应用程序和导致启动相关联的联系人应用程序用户界面200(未示出)。本领域的技术人员应该理解，图2中所示的软件应用程序模块的数目和类型仅是为了示例，并不旨在限制诸如任务模块、日志模块、笔记模块等可以提供的其他类型的软件应用程序模块。同样，应该理解，图2中所示的用于可选控件255、260、265、270的图标仅是为了示例，而非限制可用于标识不同软件应用程序的各种不同类型的视觉图标。
如此处所述的对其他软件模块的选择不仅导致启动相关联的软件应用程序和显示相关联的用户界面200，也会用与选定软件模块的数据存储文件夹相关联的可选控件填充导航窗格230。例如，如果选择日程表模块，那么会用与例如商务日程表的存储文件夹、个人日程表的存储文件夹、社交日程表的存储文件夹等一个或多个日程表存储文件夹相关联的一个或多个可选控件来填充导航窗格230。相似地，对联系人软件模块的选择导致启动相关联的联系人应用程序和显示与联系人应用程序相关联的用户界面200。同样会用例如商务联系人文件夹、个人联系人文件夹、项目联系人文件夹或用户期望的各种其他文件夹等与联系人应用程序相关联的一个或多个数据存储文件夹来填充导航窗格230。
作为另一示例，如果用户当前正在使用日程表模块，并且用户正在查看包含在例如商务日程表文件夹等特定日程表模块数据存储文件夹中的例如约会等日程表项目，那么搜索和查找窗格300可用于定位包含在商务日程表文件夹中的例如约会等日程表数据项目。作为另一示例，如果用户当前正在使用笔记模块，且用户当前正在查看包含在“个人笔记”存储文件夹中的笔记项目，那么本发明的搜索和查询窗格300可用于定位存储文件夹中正使用的特定数据项目。如以下将详细描述的，给定搜索的范围可以被自动地扩展或“升级范围”，以便搜索包含在例如如图2中所示的“所有邮件”文件夹275等更广的存储区域中的项目。
集成的搜索和查找
依照各实施例，提供了用于搜索与当前采用的软件模块相关联的存储文件夹的搜索和查找窗格300。例如，如果用户当前正在查看包含在部分240中示出的“收件箱”文件夹中的电子邮件项目，那么搜索和查找窗格300可用于定位包含在该文件夹中的电子邮件项目。如果用户当前正在查看部分235中示出的“项目A”邮件文件夹中的电子邮件项目，那么搜索和查找窗格300可用于定位包含在该文件夹中的电子邮件项目。如以下将详细描述的，给定搜索的范围可以被自动地扩展或“升级范围”，以便搜索包含在例如“所有邮件”文件夹等更广的存储区域中的项目。如果选择了不同的软件模块，例如日程表模块，那么搜索和查找窗格300会被用于搜索与日程表模块相关联的数据文件夹，诸如不同的存储日程表视图。如果选择了联系人模块，那么搜索和查找窗格300会被用于搜索包含在不同联系人文件夹中的数据等等。以下在图9中示出了在不同应用程序模块的导航窗格中展开的示例升级范围机制。
还是参考图2，在用户界面200中导航面板230和预览面板290之间的邮件列表窗格285的上方提供了集成的搜索和查找窗格300。当使用此处所述的搜索和查找窗格300以搜索例如来自特定发件人的电子邮件消息等特定的数据项目时，包括含有启动搜索的关键词和其他搜索查询的所有电子邮件项目的邮件搜索结果被列示在搜索和查找窗格300的下方的结果列表中，如图2中的窗格300下方示出的电子邮件消息295和297所示。
依照本发明的各实施例，通过使用数据索引增强了经由搜索和查找窗格300的搜索的速度和效率。依照数据搜索，周期性地索引每个数据存储文件夹，以使经由搜索和查找窗格300的后续搜索能针对与存储的数据相关联的索引来操作，而非响应于每个启动的搜索，需要搜索和查找机制搜索包含在给定存储文件夹中的所有数据。例如，参考图2，依照可用于高效地在该文件夹中搜索和查找特定数据项目的各种条款和数据类型周期性地对部分240中示出的包含在“收件箱”存储文件夹中的所有电子邮件项目进行索引。例如，可用于索引电子邮件项目的条款和/或数据类型可包括“来自”、“至”、“数据”、“附件”、“名称”等。由此，如果开始经由搜索和查找窗格300对经索引的数据文件夹启动后续的搜索，可以更快速地找到响应于该搜索的数据项目。依照各实施例，对经索引的数据文件夹的搜索以秒为单位来执行，这与对未经索引的数据存储文件夹的长得多得时间段形成对比。
例如，如果用户基于特定的名称搜索包含在目标文件夹中的所有电子邮件项目，那么就会针对目标存储文件夹经索引的名称来处理由用户提供的名称，以便高效地返回包含在目标存储文件夹中对应于用户提供的名称的数据项目。同样地，如果用户启动在目标存储文件夹中对在特定日期接收自指定方的所有电子邮件项目的搜索，那么本发明的搜索和查找机制会使用基于诸如“来自”、“名称”和“日期”等关键条款或标志的索引来高效地检索响应于所发起的搜索的数据。应该理解，可以对与其他软件模块相关联的其他类型的数据存储文件夹执行类似的索引，所述其他软件模块例如日程表模块、联系人模块、任务模块、笔记模块、日志模块等。例如可以基于与日程表数据相关联的各种标志和关键条款来对日程表模式的给定存储文件夹中包含的所有数据进行周期性的索引，所述各种标志和关键条款例如约会、约会开始时间、约会结束时间、约会日期、约会参与者等。
依照本发明的各实施例，也通过对包含在当前使用的数据存储文件夹中的数据应用启动的搜索来提高经由搜索和查找窗格300进行的搜索和查找期望数据项目的速度和效率。例如，如果用户当前正在查看包含在导航窗格230的部分240中示出的“已发送”邮件文件夹中的电子邮件，那么用户经由搜索和查找窗格300启动的搜索仅对包含在“已发送”邮件文件夹中的那些数据项目运行。通过仅对包含在当前使用的数据文件夹中的那些数据项目运行启动的搜索，搜索会更高效和更快速，因为响应于该搜索必须解析有限数目的数据项目。
此外，通过将发起的搜索限于仅包含在当前使用的数据文件夹中的那些数据项目，会增加用户的满意度，因为如果用户当前正在查看包含在例如“已发送”邮件文件夹等特定数据文件夹中的数据项目，那么用户可能期望仅对包含在当前使用的数据文件夹中的那些数据运行启动的搜索。由此，不仅通过将搜索限于包含在当前使用的数据文件夹中的数据提高了搜索的速度和效率，而缺通过训练用户由用户启动的任何搜索和查找操作首先会对当前使用的数据文件夹启动，随后仅在用户动作时对更广的数据项目集启动提高了用户期望值和满意度。
搜索和查找窗格300是包含最小数目的组件的简化用户界面，以便易于使用和最小化用户界面显示空间的消耗。依照各实施例，如图2所示，搜索和查找窗格300被维护在可见和易于发现的位置中，并且在其上搜索和查找窗格300用于所有相关联软件模块的用户界面200的数据文件夹附近保存。在各个软件模块的每一个的用户界面200中自动地展开搜索和查找窗格。无需手动地启动搜索和查找窗格300，由此搜索和查找窗格300总是保持对最终用户可见且可发现的。还是参考图2，使用搜索和查找窗格300的操作流由从导航窗格230选择特定的数据文件夹开始，这设置了后续搜索的范围，随后使用搜索和查找窗格300启动搜索，这依照搜索查询对包含在选定的数据文件夹中的数据进行过滤，随后在搜索和查找窗格300下方呈现搜索的结果，以及随后在预览窗格290中呈现选定结果项目的预览。或者，用于搜索和查找窗格300的操作流可在向文本框310输入搜索串时开始，而无需首先设置特定的搜索范围。即，依照该实施例，当向文本框310输入搜索串时，搜索会自动地在当前范围(例如已发送邮件项目)上开始。
现在参考图3，如以上简要描述的，为了更好的可发现性，搜索和查找窗格300位于用户界面200的中心附近当前使用的软件模块的数据列表窗格上方。通过将搜索和查找窗格300置于该位置，搜索和查找窗格对最终用户更可见、更可发现且更有用。依照一个实施例，搜索和查找窗格300可以被显示成与当前软件模块的结果或数据显示空间的整体宽度一样宽，例如图2中所示的邮件项目列表窗格285。背景色彩或阴影可以被应用到搜索和查找窗格300，用于使其与包含在用户界面200中周围的控件和窗格分开，以便进一步增强可发现性。依照一个实施例，当搜索和查找窗格300正在使用时，当选中了搜索和查找窗格中的任何控件或当搜索在进行中时，可以改变搜索和查找窗格300的背景渐变色(gradient)、阴影或色彩，用于创建搜索和查找窗格300正在操作中的视觉外观。为了进一步增强在经由搜索和查找窗格300启动的活动搜索期间的可发现性，可以突出显示(276)当前选中的数据文件夹，例如“已发送”数据文件夹，用于指示当前正在对突出显示的数据文件夹进行活动搜索。
还是参考图3，搜索和查找窗格300包括多个用户界面元素。在窗格300的左侧，显示放大镜图标305，用于向最终用户指示窗格300与搜索和查找期望的数据项目相关联。应该理解，可以在不同的位置显示图标305以便最好地使用可用显示空间，例如可以在文本框310中显示该图标或者可以完全去除该图标。提供搜索文本框310，其中可以输入包括特殊字符的自由形式的字母数字输入(例如字母或数字字符)以用于构造用于针对包含在当前正在使用的数据文件夹中的经索引数据进行处理的搜索查询。例如，可以将完整的单词、部分单词或单词的组合输入到文本框310中，用于启动搜索。例如，可以将诸如“sea”、“search”、“search spec”或“search for specification”等文本串输入到文本框310，以便启动期望的搜索。依照一个实施例，可以对文本框310施加诸如255个字符等字符限制。这种字符限制可以作为安全措施施加，用于降低用户的数据经由搜索机制被攻击或危害的风险。依照一个实施例，可以使用例如“CRTL+E”等键盘快捷键来自动地将焦点集中在文本框310中，以便使用搜索和查找窗格300快速地启动搜索。
依照一个实施例，可以在文本框310中显示搜索上下文标识串，用于警告用户关于搜索范围没有被改变时所启动搜索的当前上下文。例如，如果用户当前正使用“已发送”邮件文件夹，那么可以在文本框310中显示文本串，诸如“现在搜索已发送邮件文件夹”，用于警告用户所启动的搜索会针对“已发送”邮件文件夹除非用户将范围改成某个其他的数据文件夹。作为另一示例，如果用户选择性地使搜索针对所有的邮件项目，那么标识串可以是“现在搜索所有邮件项目”等。可以用将文本串区别于搜索查询的方式对其着色或形成阴影。当将搜索查询输入到文本框310中时，上下文标识串被替换。
在文本框310的右侧，提供最近使用(MRU)下拉列表控件315。对MRU控件315的选择导致展开包含多个先前使用的搜索串的下拉列表。从下拉列表选择最近使用的搜索串之一导致将选中的搜索串自动地插入到文本框310中，用于启动相关联的搜索。如以下将描述的，替换实施例包括在选择控件315以改变给定搜索的范围(包括选择MRU列表)时展开下拉菜单。
可以依照多种方法，在将搜索串查询输入到文本框310中后启动搜索。依照第一种方法，可以采用“按照你键入的结果”方法(也称为“单词轮转式”)。依照该方法，随着将文本串输入到文本框中，会对当前正在使用的数据文件夹的经索引数据启动自动搜索，所述自动搜索随着每个新的字符被输入到文本串被动态地更新。例如，如果输入第一个字符“B”，那么会对当前正在使用的数据文件夹中包含的具有字符“B”的所有数据项目自动处理搜索。随着下一个字符例如“O”被追加到搜索串，会对当前正在使用的数据文件夹中与搜索串“BO”匹配的数据项目动态地更新搜索。如果下一个字符例如“B”被追加到搜索串，那么动态地更新搜索以列示包含在当前正在使用的数据文件夹中包含串“BOB”的那些项目。即，依照单词轮转式方法，使用追加到正在被输入到文本框310中的当前搜索查询串的每个附加的字母数字字符自动填充和动态地更新响应于搜索的数据项目的结果列表。
依照第二种方法，不启动搜索直至在输入搜索串查询后的用户动作。依照该方法，例如文本串“Bob”的搜索查询被输入到文本框310中，之后是诸如选择回车的用户动作以启动使用输入的搜索串对当前正在使用的数据文件夹的搜索。或者，当在文本框310中输入期望的搜索查询后，或者在从最近使用下拉列表中选择先前输入的搜索查询之后，可以在文本框310附近添加“前进”按钮340，如图4中所示。接着选择“前进”按钮340会基于文本框310中填充的搜索查询启动对当前正在使用的数据文件夹的搜索。
提供进度指示条330，用于显示搜索正在进行的视觉指示。依照一个实施例，可以在对目标数据文件夹进行活动搜索期间提供例如从进度指示条330的一边移动到另一边的色彩或光亮等动画。当活动搜索结束时，在进度指示条330中显示的动画停止，以指示搜索已结束或已被停止。
依照一个实施例，紧接着搜索和查找窗格上面显示标题栏335，用于显示当前正在使用的数据文件夹例如“Inbox(收件箱)”数据文件夹的标题。在对当前正在使用的数据文件夹执行搜索后，将结果的附加说明描述追加到标题栏335中显示的当前正在使用的数据文件夹的标题上。例如，参考图3，在对文本串“aaro”进行搜索后，“(results for“aaro”(“aaro”的结果))”的附加说明被追加到标题“收件箱”上，以便向最终用户进一步阐明当前在搜索和查找窗格300下方的显示空间285中显示的数据包括响应于所执行的搜索的数据项目。
提供清空/停止按钮320用于立刻从文本框310删除文本，由此清空搜索和查找窗格300并使当前模块视图返回到启动任何搜索和查找操作之前的其原始状态。即，对“清空”按钮320的选择会清空文本框310中的搜索串并清空响应于给定搜索串显示的任何搜索结果。例如，如果在启动对“已发送”数据文件夹的搜索之前在显示空间285中显示例如“已发送”邮件文件夹等当前正在使用的数据文件夹的内容，随后将搜索和查找窗格300用于搜索包含在当前正在使用的数据文件夹中的特定项目，则搜索的结果会显示在显示空间285的结果列表中，以代替之前显示的正在使用的数据文件夹的内容。依照各实施例，对清空/停止按钮320的选择结束搜索和查找窗格310的操作、从文本框310清空搜索串，并且将用户界面200中数据的显示返回到启动搜索和查找操作之前的其显示状态。
依照另一实施例，按钮320会基于当前的上下文激活不同的功能，并且可以相应地改变在按钮320中显示的文本串。例如，在活动搜索期间，可以用诸如“停止”等文本串标记按钮320，选择“停止”按钮会导致活动搜索停止。在完成搜索后，可以用诸如“清空”等文本串标记按钮，如上所述。可以启用例如刷新等其他功能来对相同搜索查询进行刷新或更新的搜索。在这种上下文中，诸如“刷新”的文本标签可以被用于到按钮320上。应该理解，可以依照许多不同的上下文使用(和标记)按钮320。
可以使用其他机制，用于将用户界面200中的数据的显示返回到搜索前的状态。例如，手动地从导航窗格230选择例如“已发送”邮件文件夹等当前正在使用的数据文件夹会结束搜索和查找操作，并将用户界面200中数据的显示返回到搜索前的状态。对不同数据文件夹或不同的软件模块的选择同样会结束搜索，并将用户界面200及其组件的显示状态改变成不同的状态。如果进行中的搜索消耗了比例如2秒等设置的时间量更长的时间来返回一组搜索结果，那么可以用文本“停止”来替换清空/停止按钮320的文本标签，用于向用户指示该按钮可用于停止当前进行中的搜索并返回当前可用的搜索结果。用于将用户界面显示返回到搜索前状态的其他方法包括键盘输入或快捷键，例如选择“Esc”键。
依照一个实施例，在清空/停止按钮320附近有扩展搜索控件325，用V形图案来装饰。扩展搜索控件325允许将搜索和查找窗格300扩展到以下参考图6和7描述的扩展搜索和查找窗格中。
依照一个实施例，可以在搜索文本框310下方显示搜索状态串，用于提供有关搜索的信息和提供适用于搜索的其他功能。例如，如下所述，如果搜索得到200个项目且仅可以在结果列表中显示20个项目，那么可以在文本框310和结果列表500之间显示文本串，用于向用户通知该搜索。例如可以显示诸如“200个项目的前20个”的文本串。此外，可以启用文本串作为用于提供其他功能的可选链接，例如“选择此处以检索下20个项目”。
现在参考图5，示出了用于在图2中所示的搜索和查找窗格300下方提供响应于所执行的搜索的数据项目列表的结果列表500。依照各实施例，可以依照最用用户选择的各种列示顺序来列示作为所执行的搜索的结果检索所得并在结果列表500中列示的数据。例如，可以按照日期、按照时间、按照字母顺序或对当前正在使用的软件模块可用的任何其他排列特性来排列数据。依照一个实施例，为了向最终用户进一步阐明用户正在查看的是一组经过滤的搜索结果，而非特定数据文件夹的所有内容的常规视图，沿着结果列表500的左边缘呈现垂直条505。可以稍微突出显示垂直条505以便将垂直条与周围显示色彩区别开。
依照一个实施例，提供了命中突出显示机制，用于在每个显示的结果项目中突出显示用于执行搜索的文本串。例如，参考图5，如果基于搜索串“Bob”对目标数据文件夹执行对电子邮件项目的搜索，那么在响应于搜索的每个列示的数据中突出显示串“Bob”。例如，第一个搜索结果列示名为“Bob Smith”的人。串“Bob”由突出显示区域515突出显示，用于将文本串区分作为与返回的数据项目相关联的命中。此外，将突出显示栏510应用于图5中所示的整个第一个数据项目295，用于指示第一个数据项目是当前选中的数据项目并用于指示选中(即聚焦的)项目的预览在预览窗格290中可用。作为另一示例，第三个数据项目在图5中示出并且是与从名为“Joe Bobson”的人处接收到的电子邮件相关联的。在包含在串“Bobson”中的串“Bob”上显示突出显示区域525，用于快速地向最终用户指示为何响应于所执行的搜索返回该数据项目的原因。
依照各实施例，命中突出显示可以被应用到所显示的数据项目中包含的任何文本串。例如，如果在包含在目标数据文件夹的数据项目的附件(例如电子邮件项目的文字处理文档附件)的标题或文本中发现用于对目标数据文件夹执行搜索的搜索串，那么会在所显示数据项目下方紧接着显示来自该附件的标题或摘录，并且会在所显示的附件标题或摘录中突出显示搜索文本串。
在结果列表500的较低部分，提供了“升级范围”链接540，用于自动地将所执行的搜索的范围改变成更广的所搜索数据集。以下参考图8和9描述升级范围的操作。
扩展搜索和查找
如上所述，搜索和查找窗格300允许基于输入到搜索和查找窗格300中的关键词或其他字母数字串从目标数据文件夹搜索和检索数据项目，以便基于输入的字母数字文本串和关键词搜索经索引的数据。通常，因为请求用户没有输入适当的关键词或字母数字搜索查询以便定位所期望的数据项目，所以搜索的结果没有从目标数据文件夹成功地检索一个或多个期望的数据项目。例如，用户会记得在过去的某时接收到涉及对用户而言重大的问题的电子邮件消息，但是用户不能构造出关键词或其他字母数字文本串以便用在搜索和查找窗格300中高效地定位期望的数据项目。
现在参考图6，提供了扩展的搜索和查找窗格610以允许请求用户对目标数据文件夹执行基于指定的标志和关键搜索标准的搜索，使得可以将更加定制的搜索应用到目标数据文件夹，以便定位期望的数据项目。依照一个实施例，“标志”是指对其执行搜索的项目的“难忘方面”或特性，例如向其发送邮件项目的一方，或者接收到邮件项目的时间等等。在扩展搜索和查找窗格610中使用相对较小的数目的关键回想标志或搜索标准，以便使最终用户能集中于数据项目通常使用的特性上，使得可以进行适当的搜索。依照各实施例，可通过扩展的搜索和查找窗格610为通过其执行搜索和查找操作的每个软件模块提供一组预先选择的标志搜索标准。例如，如果电子邮件模块当前正在使用且“收件箱”数据文件夹当前正在使用，那么可以使用与使用户能对电子邮件项目定制搜索的标志搜索标准相关联的较小数目的文本框来填充扩展的搜索和查找窗格610。
参考图6，示例标志搜索标准文本框包括用于查找来自特定方的邮件的“来自”框、用于查找在特定日期接收的邮件的“日期”框、“类别”框、以及用于查找具有选定属性的邮件的“属性”框，例如给定的邮件项目是否包括附件、是否未读、是否被标记、是否包括链接等等。应该理解，如果扩展搜索和查找窗格610是通过另一软件模块打开的，例如通过日程表软件模块打开，那么扩展搜索和查找窗格610会允许基于其他标志搜索标准(例如会议时间、会议日期、会议参与者等等)来定制搜索。
现在参考图7，扩展搜索和查找窗格610紧接着搜索和查找窗格300的下方放置，如上所述。如上参考图3和4所述，通过选择扩展搜索按钮325来启动扩展搜索和查找窗格610。当选择了按钮325时，自动如图6和7所示展开扩展搜索和查找窗格610。为了折叠或退出(dismiss)扩展搜索和查找窗格610，再次选择按钮325。依照各实施例，扩展搜索和查找窗格610包括背景色、阴影或渐变色，用于使用与搜索和查找窗格300相同的方式将其与周围的显示空间和控件区分开。
多个搜索标准文本框对搜索用户可用，用于定制扩展的搜索和查找请求。如窗格610中所示，提供了多个文本框715、720、725、730，并且请求用户可以在每个提供的文本框中输入字母数字文本串或者从与给定文本框相关联的下拉菜单中选择串或条款，用于创建搜索查询。例如，第一文本框715被示为“From(来自)”文本框，并且可用于输入与电子邮件项目的发件人相关联的文本串。第二文本框720被示为“Date(日期)”文本框，并且可用于输入或选择与电子邮件项目相关联的日期。第三文本框725被示为“Category(类别)”文本框，并且可用于输入或选择与电子邮件项目相关联的类别。第四文本框730被示为“Attributes(属性)”文本框，并且可用于输入或选择与期望邮件项目相关联的属性，例如附件、重要性级别等。
如图7中所示，提供了题为“添加更多标准”的可选控件，以便使用户能添加其他搜索标准文本框，并且将一个和多个期望的标志条款或标准应用到添加的文本框。为了自定义现有文本框，例如“From”等标准文本框标签被选择以展开下拉菜单，从中可选择新的标准来自定义在扩展的搜索和查找窗格610中提供的搜索标准文本框。例如，如果用户期望将与文本框715相关联的第一搜索标准从“From”标准改变成“To(至)”标准，那么可以展开用于选择“To”标准的下拉菜单。一旦选择了“To”标准，那么在文本框715旁示出的单词“From”会被替换成单词“To”，且窗格610的底层功能会被改变成将输入到该文本框中的文本应用到与邮件项目的收件人相关联的所搜索邮件项目的属性上。应该理解，可以将所示文本框的每一个修改成接收与许多不同的标准相关联的关键词或其他字母数字文本串。可应用到文本框715、720、725、730上的示例搜索标准包括正文、类别、抄送(“cc”)、联系人、由...创建、到期日为、标记色彩、后续动作、来自、重要性、消息、接收到的、敏感性、状态、已发送、主题等等。由此，用户可以通过指定将应用到给定搜索上的搜索标准的类型来定制扩展的搜索和查找窗格610。
此外，对某些标准，例如日期、类别、属性、敏感性、标志色彩、类别、重要性、属性或具有可选范围的关键术语或特性的任何其他标准，可以在文本框下启用附加下拉菜单，如图7中的下拉菜单735所示。例如，对于“属性”标准，启用下拉菜单来使用户能通过选择可能与期望项目相关联的一个或多个属性或特性来进行扩展的搜索，所述属性或特性例如项目是否包括附件、项目是否未读、项目是否被标记为重要的、项目是否具有标志或者项目是否包括链接。作为另一示例，如果用户将扩展的搜索和查找窗格610修改成包括“标志色彩”类别，例如可以在标志类别文本框下启用下拉菜单735以便从诸如红色、蓝色、绿色，黄色等可用标志颜色中挑选。作为另一示例，如果将“日期”标准应用到扩展的搜索和查找窗格610，那么可以启用下拉菜单，这使得能够进行对指定日期的选择，包括今天、昨天、本周、本月、本年、在过去三天内、在过去两周内、在过去两个月内、在过去一年内等。应该理解，当从这种下拉菜单735选择特定的属性时，选中的属性被自动体填充到相关联的文本框730中，以便应用到相关联的搜索上。
依照一个实施例，尽管扩展的搜索和查找窗格610可以被修改以包括不同的搜索标准组时，如上所述，可为扩展的搜索和查找窗格610提供与某些软件模块相关联的某些默认搜索标准组。例如，对于电子邮件模块，来自、日期、类别的搜索标准被应用到窗格610上，如图7中所示。对于日程表模块，应用到窗格610上的默认搜索标准包括组织者(来自)、类别、日期范围和特殊属性。对于联系人模块，应用到窗格610上的默认搜索标准包括名称、公司/机构、电话号码(主要)和特殊属性。对于笔记模块，应用到窗格610上的默认搜索标准包括关键词、日期、标签和特殊属性。对于日志模块，应用到窗格610上的默认搜索标准包括关键词、日期、类型和特殊属性。应该理解，组织应用于不同软件模块上的这些默认搜索标准组以用于指导请求用户通过在与某些软件模块相关联的目标数据文件夹中对数据项目的高效的扩展搜索。然而，如上所述，可以通过选择将不同或其他的搜索标准来包括在窗格610中或通过选择“添加更多标准”控件将其他搜索标准添加到包括在窗格610中的给定搜索标准组来修改扩展的搜索和查找窗格。
在操作中，扩展的搜索和查找窗格610可用于进行针对正在使用的存储数据文件夹的定制搜索查询，这些存储数据文件夹例如“收件箱”数据文件夹、“已发送”数据文件夹或者与例如日程表模块、联系人模块等其他软件模块相关联的各种其他数据文件夹。例如，如果电子邮件模块当前正在使用，且“项目A”邮件文件夹当前正在被审阅，那么可以将定制的搜索应用到该正在使用的邮件文件夹上，以便查找用户难以构建合适的关键词搜索或其他用于上述搜索和查找窗格300的字母数字串的特定的邮件项目。当用户启动扩展的搜索和查找窗格610后，用户会输入名称，从中将期望的电子邮件项目接收到文本框715中。用户接着可以从与日期文本框720相关联的下拉菜单中选择日期，例如“本周”。用户接着可以选择要应用到搜索上的电子邮件项目的类别。如果用户不确定期望的电子邮件项目相关联的特定的类别，那么用户可以选择“all(所有)”类别。接着，如果用户记得所期望电子邮件项目包括附件，那么用户可以从“Attributes”文本下拉菜单735中选择附件属性。
依照各实施例，随着请求用户进行搜索，如上所述，与用户选择和/或输入的搜索标准相关联的搜索串被填充到位于扩展的搜索和查找窗格610上方的搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中。由此，随着用户使用扩展的搜索和查找窗格610进行定制的搜索查询，用户能够看到响应于从扩展搜索和查找窗格610选出的搜索标准而被填充到搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中的搜索查询的句法和结构。例如，输入到搜索和查找窗格310的文本框310中的搜索串可以采用“来自：Carlos，日期：本周，类别：所有，附件”的形式。应该理解，该搜索串是用于示例的，而没有示出可依照本发明的各实施例使用的特定搜索串句法或结构。
从质量控制和用户学习的观点看，响应于经由扩展的搜索和查找窗格610应用搜索标准，在搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中显示定制的搜索串是有优势的。从质量控制的观点看，如果响应于用户所应用的搜索标准将搜索串填充到文本框310在任何方面对用户而言看上去不准确的，例如日期标准看起来不准确，或者属性标准看起来不准确，那么用户可以在执行搜索之前修改应用到扩展搜索上的搜索标准和关键词或其他字母数字文本串。或者，在执行搜索后，如果搜索结果不令人满意时，用户可以修改搜索标准或关键词。
从用户学习的观点看，在文本框310中搜索串的显示使用户能学习搜索和查找窗格300响应于经由扩展的搜索和查找窗格610应用到给定搜索上的搜索标准所使用的句法和文本串结构。例如，如果响应于某些搜索标准的应用和某些关键词或其他字母数字文本的输入，“来自：Carlos，日期：本周，类别：所有，附件”形式的搜索串被填充到搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中，那么用户会开始学习响应于应用到给定搜索上的各种搜索标准和关键词创建的搜索串的句法和结构。一旦用户学习了响应于各种搜索标准的选择和各种关键词或其他字母数字串的使用而应用的搜索串的句法和结构，用户接着能够将搜索串直接输入到简化的搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中，这些搜索串包括搜索标准、某些关键词和其他字母数字串，而无需启用和使用扩展的搜索和查找窗格610。即，通过学习由扩展的搜索和查找窗格610应用到搜索查询上的句法和结构，用户可以将复杂的搜索查询直接输入到简化的搜索和查找窗格300的文本框310中，用于执行扩展搜索而无需使用扩展的搜索和查找窗格610。
可以通过对各种搜索标准的选择发展了搜索查询，那么可以通过选择回车、键盘快捷键或通过选择诸如图4中所示的“前进”按钮340等执行按钮来执行定制的搜索。或者，如果启用如上所述的“单词轮转式”机制，那么可以在输入不同或其他字符时立即执行和更新查询。如上参考搜索和查找窗格300所述，对与正在使用或目标数据文件夹相关联的索引数据执行经由扩展搜索和查找窗格610执行的搜索，用于增加搜索和数据检索的效率和速度。响应于所执行的搜索，在用户界面200的显示空间285中的结果列表500中提供来自搜索的结果，如以上参考图2和5所示和所描述的。如上所述，提供应用到与搜索相关联的搜索标准上的命中突出显示，用于向审阅用户指示为何响应于所执行的搜索返回特定的数据项目。
放宽的搜索和查找(升级范围)
如以上参考图1-7所述，通过将搜索串输入到简化的搜索和查找窗格300和通过使用扩展的搜索和查找窗格610用于定制更为复杂和特定的搜索查询，搜索查询可以针对正在使用的数据文件夹。通常，用户在对特定的数据文件夹中工作，例如“已发送”邮件文件夹或“未读”邮件文件夹“，并且用户使其搜索查询针对包含在正在使用的数据文件夹中的数据项目。如果从对正在使用的文件夹执行的给定搜索查询返回的结果不是令人满意的，因为没有返回期望的数据项目，那么用户必须将搜索扩展到更广的数据项目集。依照本发明的各实施例，提供了“升级范围”机制，以使得用户能快速并自动地将当前搜索查询的范围扩展到与给定软件模块相关联的所有数据项目。如果搜索针对作为全部父数据文件夹的子集的数据文件夹，例如，其中搜索针对作为“所有邮件”文件夹的子文件夹的“已发送”邮件文件夹，那么有不同的手段可用于自动地将一开始针对子文件夹的搜索的范围升级成包含可以将搜索应用到其上的其他数据项目的较大的数据文件夹。
现在参考图5和9，如上所述，在经由搜索和查找窗格300或扩展的搜索和查找窗格610使得搜索针对给定数据文件夹后，如果搜索示针对子文件夹，那么在响应于先前搜索所返回的数据项目的列表下自动地填充“升级范围”链接540、825。链接540、825可以伴有解释性文本串，诸如“没有看到你所查找的？”或“在..中再次尝试搜索”，之后显示“升级范围”链接540、825。依照各实施例，如果用户选择“升级范围”链接，例如“All Mail Items(所有邮件项目)”链接825，那么当前经由简化的搜索和查找窗格300或扩展的搜索和查找窗格610应用的搜索串被自动地应用到在“All Mail Items”下包括的所有数据文件夹中包含的所有数据项目上。例如，如果用户首先经由窗格300或窗格610应用针对“已发送”邮件文件夹的搜索，且用户没有接收到期望的结果，那么在结果列表下填充的链接会允许用户选择性地针对包含在所有邮件文件夹中的所有邮件项目，例如“已发送”邮件、“收件箱”邮件、“未读”邮件、“已删除”邮件等应用经由窗格300或窗格610将输入的当前搜索查询。如下所述，如果当前正在使用的软件模块是不同的模块，例如日程表模块，那么在结果列表下提供的链接会允许针对不同的模块的所有数据项目，例如所有日程表项目应用当前搜索查询。
依照各实施例，用于自动地将当前搜索的范围升级成与当前正在使用的软件模块相关联的所有数据项目的第二种手段包括从导航窗格230选择“所有‘模块’项目”控件，其中“模块”标识当前正在使用的软件模块(例如邮件、日程表、联系人等)。如果例如“来自Bob的邮件”的当前搜索查询经由搜索和查找窗格300被应用到当前正在使用的“已发送”邮件文件夹上，且没有找到期望的邮件项目，那么用户可以例如通过鼠标点击“所有邮件”控件275来从导航窗格230选择“所有邮件”文件夹275，并且原来应用到“已发送”邮件文件夹上的搜索串会被自动地应用到“所有邮件”文件夹。在通过选择升级范围链接540、825来执行升级范围或通过从导航窗格230选择“所有‘模块’项目”控件来执行升级范围中的任一情况下，原来应用到当前正在使用的数据文件夹的搜索串被应用到较大的父文件夹，并且响应于搜索查询的结果被返回并在结果列表500中显示，如以上参考图5所描述的。
现在参考图9，示出了用于不同软件模块的示例性导航窗格，显示“所有‘模块’项目”控件和在每个不同的软件模块下可用的各种子文件夹。应该理解，在图9中所示的示例性导航窗格和可选控件仅是示例性的，而非旨在限制可以依照本发明的各实施例使用的导航窗格和可选控件的不同类型。如图9中所示，用于电子邮件模块的导航窗格910包括“All Mail Items(所有邮件项目)”控件，用于将搜索查询应用到包含在电子邮件模块下的所有邮件项目上。示出了用于日程表模块的导航窗格920，并且示出了用于选择性地对例如存储在相关联的日程表应用程序下的个人日程表、商务日程表、社交日程表等所有日程表应用搜索查询的“All Calendars(所有日程表)”控件。示出了用于联系人模块的导航窗格930，它具有用于选择性地将搜索查询应用到与联系人模块相关联的所有联系人数据文件夹上的“All Contacts(所有联系人)”控件。示出了用于任务模块的导航窗格940，并提供了用于选择性地对与任务模块相关联的所有任务文件夹应用搜索查询的“All Tasks(所有任务)”控件。示出了用于笔记模块的导航窗格950，并提供了用于选择性将搜索查询应用于与笔记模块相关联的所有笔记文件夹的“All Notes(所有笔记)”控件。示出了用于日志模块的导航窗格960，并显示了用于选择性将搜索查询应用于与日志模块相关联的所有日志文件夹的“All Journals(所有日志)”控件。
图10示出了图2的计算机屏幕显示，显示了用于选择性地改变给定搜索操作的范围或用于获取一个和多个附加功能的下拉菜单。如图10中所示，可以通过选择控件315来展开下拉菜单1010。下拉菜单1010可以包括一个或多个可选控件，用于改变给定搜索的范围，或用于获取相关联的软件模块的其他功能。例如，可以选择“最近搜索”控件1025，以便展开最近使用的搜索串的列表，如上所述。可以选择“搜索所有邮件项目”控件1030，用于将当前搜索的范围从给定搜索文件夹升级到较大的搜索文件夹，如以上参考图8和9所描述的。可以选择“搜索选项”控件1050，用于提供与正在使用的搜索功能相关联的一个和多个可选选项。可以选择“帮助”控件1050，用于获取与针对当前搜索上下文的搜索相关联的帮助内容或用于获取与正在使用的软件模块相关联的一般帮助内容。
依照一个实施例，提供了“搜索桌面”控件1040，用于将搜索的范围从当前搜索范围升级到操作系统级别的桌面范围，这样可以搜索与计算机100相关联的存储器存储的内容。在这种情况下，当前搜索采用孩子数据文件夹搜索的形式，而桌面采用父数据文件夹的形式，如以上参考图8和9所描述的。例如，依照一个实施例，选择“搜索桌面”控件1040会导致运行和启动“桌面”搜索功能，诸如WINDOWS
Figure A20068003321200271
桌面搜索功能。当前正在使用的搜索查询被自动地填充到桌面搜索功能中，用于启动搜索。应该理解，经由桌面搜索功能应用的搜索可以被应用到存储在本地计算机100上的存储器上，或者搜索可以应用到经由分布式网络存储的存储器上，诸如位于远程的服务器或诸如经由内联网或互联网可用的存储器位置。应该理解，可以在桌面搜索功能的适当的结果列表中显示这种“升级范围后”搜索的结果。
如此所述，提供与数据搜索引擎集成的搜索和查找用户界面，以允许对与给定软件模块相关联的或与多个不同的软件模块相关联的数据存储文件夹进行高效且高速的数据搜索和检索。提供搜索和查找用户界面的扩展形式，用于高级搜索，其中要求在当前搜索范围之外的搜索，提供自动“升级范围”机制，用于将搜索扩展到在其上执行最初搜索的当前数据存储文件夹之外的数据存储文件夹。以上所描述的各个实施例仅是以示例的方式提供的，而不应该被解释成限制本发明。本领域的技术人员会容易认识到可无需遵循此处所示和所描述的示例实施例和应用而对本发明作出各种修改和改变，而不背离权利要求书中提出的本发明的真实精神和范围。
