Method of and system for enhanced local-device content discovery

A method of finding and presenting content items, the method comprising:

• receiving an input from a user for finding at least one desired content item from a collection of content items, wherein each content item of the collection is associated with respective metadata describing the corresponding content item;
• receiving a plurality of magnitudes of user interaction, wherein each respective magnitude of the plurality of magnitudes corresponds to an amount of user interaction with a respective dataspace of a plurality of dataspaces;
• identifying, based on the plurality of magnitudes, a dataspace of the plurality of dataspaces having a greatest magnitude of user interaction;
• selecting a keyword, from a plurality of keywords corresponding to the dataspace, that has a different word stem than the received input based in part on determining that the keyword is related to the user input;
• adding the keyword to the received input from the user to form a search query;
• identifying a subset of content items of the collection associated with metadata that at least partially matches both of the keyword and the received input from the user of the search query;
• and
• generating for display the subset of content items, wherein each respective content item of the subset of content items is ordered based on a value indicating an extent of user interaction with content items having attributes matching a respective attribute of the respective content item.

A system of finding and presenting content items, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:

• receive an input from a user for finding at least one desired content item from a collection of content items, wherein each content item of the collection is associated with respective metadata describing the corresponding content item;
• receive a plurality of magnitudes of user interaction, wherein each respective magnitude of the plurality of magnitudes corresponds to an amount of user interaction with a respective dataspace of a plurality of dataspaces;
• identify, based on the plurality of magnitudes, a dataspace of the plurality of dataspaces having a greatest magnitude of user interaction;
• select a keyword, from a plurality of keywords corresponding to the dataspace, that has a different word stem than the received input based in part on determining that the keyword is related to the user input;
• add the keyword to the received input from the user to form a search query;
• identify a subset of content items of the collection associated with metadata that at least partially matches both of the keyword and the received input from the user of the search query;
• and
• generate for display the subset of content items, wherein each respective content item of the subset of content items is ordered based on a value indicating an extent of user interaction with content items having attributes matching a respective attribute of the respective content item.
