Position sensitive type-ahead matching for resource navigation

A method comprising:

• identifying an intermediate character position that corresponds to a character position indicated in a first resource name presented with a resource navigation graphical user interface;
• in response to an input of a sequence of characters, searching from the intermediate character position of a plurality of resource names, accessible via the resource navigation graphical user interface, for the sequence of characters;
• identifying a second of the plurality of resource names that comprises the sequence of characters beginning at the intermediate character position of the second of the plurality of resource names;
• and
• shifting focus from the first resource name to the second of the plurality of resource names in the resource navigation graphical user interface.

A computer program product for position sensitive type-ahead matching, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code configured to:
• identify a searchable name-part of a first resource name presented with a resource navigation graphical user interface in response to selecting of the first resource name, wherein the searchable name-part comprises a searchable resource name portion demarcated with at least one delimiter;
• search, in response to input of a sequence of characters, the searchable name-part of a plurality of resource names accessible via the resource navigation graphical user interface for the sequence of characters;
• identify a second of the plurality of resource names that has the searchable name part beginning with the sequence of characters;
• and
• shift focus from the first resource name to the second of the plurality of resource names in the resource navigation graphical user interface.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a network interface coupled with the processor;
• and
• a resource navigation unit operable to:
• identify a searchable name-part of a first resource name presented with a resource navigation graphical user interface in response to selecting of the first resource name, wherein the searchable name-part comprises a searchable resource name portion demarcated with at least one delimiter;
• in response to input of a sequence of characters, search the searchable name-part of a plurality of resource names accessible via the resource navigation graphical user interface for the sequence of characters;
• identify a second of the plurality of resource names that has the searchable name part beginning with the sequence of characters;
• and
• shift focus from the first resource name to the second of the plurality of resource names in the resource navigation graphical user interface.
