1. A method comprising:
- displaying a current view of a user interface associated with a search application, the current view of the user interface including a search result including one or more elements associated with a search;
receiving, while the current view of the user interface is displayed, a first user input requesting that a prior state of the user interface be displayed, the prior state of the user interface including a first representation of the search application user interface, where the first representation shows a past state of the current view of the user interface including results produced by executing the search on archived data associated with a time of the past state; and
displaying the prior state of the user interface in response to the first user input, the prior state of the user interface including search results having a first item not present in the one or more elements.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for searching. In one implementation, a method is provided. A current view of a search application is displayed in a user interface. The current view of the search application includes a search result including one or more elements. A first user input is received while the current view of a search application is displayed. The first user input requests that a history view associated with the current view of the search application be displayed. The history view includes search results based on a search of system data from an archive. The history view is displayed in response to the first user input, the history view including search results having a first item not present in the one or more elements.

9. A method comprising:
-
displaying a search result including one or more items in a current view in a user interface; receiving, while the search result is displayed in the current view in the user interface, a first user input requesting that an archive associated with system data be searched and an archived search result based on a search of system data from the archive be displayed; displaying the archived search result in a prior state of the user interface, in response to the first user input, the prior state of the user interface including a first representation, where the first representation shows a past state of the current view of the user interface, where the underlying data for the first representation is stored in the archive, the archived search result including at least one representation of a past state of the system data including a first item not present in the one or more items in the search result. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
