System and Method for Displaying Multimedia Events Scheduling Information

A system for displaying program guide information, comprising:

• memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more programs stored in memory which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform the method of:
• responsive to a user-supplied search query:
• (A) formatting for display program guide data on a first grid including (i) a first axis representing units of time and (ii) a second axis, the program guide data comprising information representing a first set of time-bounded events;
• and
• (B) formatting a second grid for concurrent display with the first grid, wherein
• the second grid includes information identifying a second set of time-bounded events, and
• the first set of time-bounded events is a subset of the second set of time-bounded events.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program mechanism for execution by one or more processors of a computing device, the computer program mechanism comprising instructions for:

• responsive to a user-supplied search query:
• (A) formatting for display program guide data on a first grid including (i) a first axis representing units of time and (ii) a second axis, the program guide data comprising information representing a first set of time-bounded events;
• and
• (B) formatting a second grid for concurrent display with the first grid, wherein
• the second grid includes information identifying a second set of time-bounded events, and
• the second set of time-bounded events is a subset of the first set of time-bounded events.
