• receiving, by a trading device, one or more characters as a search input at a search field, wherein the search field is provided as part of a user interface of the trading device;
• receiving, by the trading device, subsequent to receiving the one or more characters at the search field, a delimiter, wherein the delimiter is provided via the user interface of the trading device;
• in response to receiving the delimiter, defining, by the trading device, a context filter, wherein the context filter identifies a context in the search input, and wherein the context identified in the defined context filter indicates a subset of search results to be retrieved from an organized dataset by the trading device;
• submitting, by the trading device, to the organized dataset, a query according to the context filter to retrieve the subset of search results from the organized dataset that corresponds to the identified context in the context filter;
• displaying, by the trading device, a plurality of icons in the user interface, wherein each of the plurality of icons represents one of the subset of search results from the organized dataset that corresponds to the identified context in the context filter;
• receiving, by the trading device, a second context filter at the search field, wherein the second context filter includes one or more characters and a second delimiter, and wherein the first and second context filters are displayed in the search field;
• and
• displaying, by the trading device, an organized subset of the plurality of icons in the user interface, wherein each of the organized subset of the plurality of icons represents one of the subset of search results from the organized dataset based on the context filter and the second context filter displayed in the search field.
