1. A method comprising:
- performing, using one or more processing units, a system-wide search based upon a search query;
generating, using the one or more processing units, data for a set of search results organized by categories, wherein each category includes a particular number of search results displayable in a collapsible group, wherein each collapsible group is associated with a collapse indicator, and wherein activating the collapse indicator causes the particular number of search results to be collapsed; and
associating, using the one or more processing units, an additional results indicator with each category having hidden search results, wherein the additional results indicator displays a number or text indicating hidden search results within at least one category, and wherein activating the additional results indicator causes the hidden search results to be displayed in addition to the particular number of displayed search results.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata. In one exemplary method, metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured, and the captured metadata is searched. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.
