Abstract
An approach is provided for presenting search results in an active user interface element at specific location in a user interface that correspond to the desired information with respect to user interface search element. An element of a user interface receiving a search parameter enables processing of the search parameter to yield location information of the desired information. The location or locations of the desired information are then presented to a user on the user interface.
Claims21
A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one determination of an input specifying at least one point in a user interface;
- a rendering of a search user interface element at the at least one point;
- and
- at least one determination to generate a search query that includes, at least in part, the at least one point as a search parameter.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determine an input specifying at least one point in a user interface;
- cause, at least in part, a rendering of a search user interface element at the at least one point;
- and
- determine to generate a search query that includes, at least in part, the at least one point as a search parameter.
