1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via an input device, a flick gesture, the flick gesture comprising a continuous non-marking substantially linear gesture;
in response to the received flick gesture, determining if one or more search terms displayed in an interface is selected;
when one or more search terms is selected, performing a search using the selected one or more search terms; and
when one or more search terms is not selected,causing a search query box to be displayed in the interface;
receiving one or more search terms through the search query box; and
performing a search using the one or more search terms received through the search query box.

6. A computing device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory for storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to; detect a flick gesture and at least one of a direction of the flick gesture or a speed of the flick gesture, the flick gesture comprising a continuous non-marking substantially linear gesture; receive a user input; determine if the user input comprises a selection of one or more search terms; when one or more search terms is selected and based on the detected flick gesture and the at least one of the direction, the speed, or the location of the flick gesture, perform a particular type of search using the user input and in response to the performed search, provide one or more search results to an output device; and when one or more search terms is not selected, cause a search query box to be displayed in the interface; receive one or more search terms through the search query box; and perform a search using the one or more search terms received through the search query box. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
an input device; one or more processors; and memory for storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a method, comprising; receiving, via the input device, a flick gesture, the flick gesture comprising a continuous substantially linear gesture; in response to the flick gesture, based on a selection of one or more search terms displayed in an interface, performing a search using the one or more search terms; and based on a non-selection of one or more search terms, causing a search query box to be displayed in the interface;
receiving one or more search termsthrough the search query box; and
performing a search using the one or more search terms received through the search query box; andin response to the performed search, providing one or more search results to an output device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
