US 10,379,728 B2 · Methods and graphical user interfaces for conducting searches on a portable multifunction device

Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments, a graphical user interface on a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display includes: an application interface of an application that includes an application interface region with an edge; and a search input area for entering a search query for the application. In response to detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display, the application interface region is translated on the touch screen display in a first direction. In response to the edge of the application interface region being crossed while translating the application interface region in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, the edge of the application interface region is displayed, and the search input area is displayed in an area beyond the application interface region.

3 more elements

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

on a portable multifunction device with a display:
displaying an application on the display;
while displaying the application, entering a search mode for the application;
while in the search mode for the application, receiving a search query for the application;
displaying the search query in a search input area on the display;
in response to receiving the search query:
performing a search within the application for fields of application records with field values that include the search query, and
displaying a list of search results, wherein:
each search result in the displayed list of search results corresponds to a unique combination of field and field value that includes the search query, and
at least one of the search results corresponds to a plurality of application records that match the search query;
detecting selection of a particular search result in the list of search results, the particular search result corresponding to a particular field value in a particular field;
and
in response to detecting selection of the particular search result in the list of search results:
replacing display of the list of search results with display of a list of record descriptors for application records that have the particular field value in the particular field if more than one application record has the particular field value in the particular field, and
replacing display of the list of search results with display of an application record that has the particular field value in the particular field if only one application record has the particular field value in the particular field.

12 more elements

A portable multifunction device, comprising:

a display;
one or more processors;
memory;
and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying an application on the display;
while displaying the application, entering a search mode for the application;
while in the search mode for the application, receiving a search query for the application;
displaying the search query in a search input area on the display;
in response to receiving the search query:
performing a search within the application for fields of application records with field values that include the search query, and
displaying a list of search results, wherein:
each search result in the displayed list of search results corresponds to a unique combination of field and field value that includes the search query, and
at least one of the search results corresponds to a plurality of application records that match the search query;
detecting selection of a particular search result in the list of search results, the particular search result corresponding to a particular field value in a particular field;
and
in response to detecting selection of the particular search result in the list of search results:
replacing display of the list of search results with display of a list of record descriptors for application records that have the particular field value in the particular field if more than one application record has the particular field value in the particular field, and
replacing display of the list of search results with display of an application record that has the particular field value in the particular field if only one application record has the particular field value in the particular field.

16 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a portable multifunction device with a display, cause the device to:

display an application on the display;
while displaying the application, enter a search mode for the application;
while in the search mode for the application, receive a search query for the application;
display the search query in a search input area on the display;
in response to receiving the search query:
perform a search within the application for fields of application records with field values that include the search query, and
display a list of search results, wherein:
each search result in the displayed list of search results corresponds to a unique combination of field and field value that includes the search query, and
at least one of the search results corresponds to a plurality of application records that match the search query;
detect selection of a particular search result in the list of search results, the particular search result corresponding to a particular field value in a particular field;
and
in response to detecting selection of the particular search result in the list of search results:
replace display of the list of search results with display of a list of record descriptors for application records that have the particular field value in the particular field if more than one application record has the particular field value in the particular field, and
replace display of the list of search results with display of an application record that has the particular field value in the particular field if only one application record has the particular field value in the particular field.
