Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates in situ searching of data. An interface can receive a flick gesture from an input device. An in situ search component can employ an in situ search triggered by the flick gesture, wherein the in situ search is executed on at least one of a portion of data selected on the input device.

21. A method comprising:
-
identifying a single continuous gesture received via an input device; determining, in association with the identifying the single continuous gesture, whether a selection of data being displayed via an interface is absent or is present; if the selection of the data is absent; displaying, via the interface, a search query box; receiving, via the search query box, input that specifies a search request; and executing a search based at least in part on the input that specifies the search request; and if the selection of the data is present, executing a search based at least in part on the selection of the data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computing device comprising:
-
an input device; an interface; one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to; identify a single continuous gesture received via the input device; determine, in association with the identifying the single continuous gesture, whether content displayed via the interface has previously been selected; if the content displayed via the interface has not previously been selected; output a prompt for one or more search terms; and execute a search in response to receiving the one or more search terms; and if the content displayed via the interface has previously been selected, execute a search based at least in part on the content displayed via the interface that has previously been selected. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. One or more system memories storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying a single continuous gesture received via an input device; determining, in association with the identifying the single continuous gesture, whether content displayed via an interface has previously been selected; if the content displayed via the interface has not previously been selected; displaying, via the interface, a search query box; receiving, via the search query box, input that specifies a search request; and causing a search to be executed based at least in part on the input that specifies the search request; and if the content displayed via the interface has previously been selected, causing a search to be executed based at least in part the content displayed via the interface that has previously been selected. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
