Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an integrated search is provided. An interface is provided that allows users to search and select any data related to a searchable term. Searchable terms may comprise titles of content, actors, and tags. Upon receiving results from the initial search, the user progresses through the initial search by selecting a result from the initial search and conducting a further search of that selection. The search may progress through many layers of searching in order to find information useful to the user and the user may perform actions based upon results of the search. The search implements a display with two columns, the first column displaying selectable data, and the second column displaying results to the selected data. The search is further customizable based upon a privacy level selected by the user.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a first tuner task type is identified from among a plurality of tuner task types, in response to receiving a first tuner request. The first tuner request was made to perform a tuner task of the first tuner task type. A first set of tuner selection rules specifically for the first tuner task type is determined and applied to a set of tuners to determine whether the set of tuners comprises a tuner available to perform the tuner task of the first tuner task type.

Abstract: Techniques described herein enable searching for multimedia content and for downloading or scheduling the recording of the multimedia content. The multimedia content may have been previously stored on one or more databases. The client device may download or schedule the recording of multimedia content in one step, for example, in one touch. When desired multimedia content is not available, the multimedia content is added to the client device's wish list. When the client device's does not have a wish list, the client device's wish list may be created on the spot. During the scheduling of the recording, a tag associated with the multimedia content is checked to determine whether the multimedia content is live or delayed. When the tag indicates the multimedia content is live or delayed, the client device prompts with a suggestion to add extra time to the end of the recording of the multimedia content.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for a prefix-based search system. The system stores a first data structure for a prefix. The system stores a second data structure for a second prefix that is a sub-prefix of the first prefix. As search results containing the first prefix are displayed by the system, the system track interactions with the search results and updates both data structures. When the system detected a search for a second prefix, the system uses the second updated data structure to provide search results.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for an adaptive search user interface is provided. An interface is provided that returns search results upon receiving each alphanumeric character of a search query term. Correlations of prefixes of alphanumeric characters and search results selected from previous searches are stored in a correlation matrix. Based upon the correlations in the correlation matrix, relevance rankings for search results with respect to the prefixes of alphanumeric characters are updated. Search results may be grouped based upon one or more common traits. Relevance rankings are also updated based upon the rate of change of selections recorded for a search result.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for, in response to determining that a user has not elected to opt into (or that the user has elected to opt out of) the privacy policy, using limited functionality of an electronic search system to select data items from a set of candidate data items to be transmitted using a first selection criteria (which is not based on personal information of the user). The system and methods may be further configured to, in response to determining that the user has elected to opt into (or that the user has elected not to opt out of) the privacy policy, access personal information of the user, and use full functionality of the electronic search system to select data items from the same set of candidate data items based at least in part on the accessed personal information about the user.
