First Claim
1. A computer-implemented search system, comprising:
- a processing unit operatively coupled to one or more memory to provide;
a search component for receiving a query and an option via a micro-browser and initiating a search in a document for results based on a keyword of the query and the option to find occurrences of the keyword in the document in which the search is being performed, the option allowing specifying a page of the document to begin the search from and specifying a page of the document at which to end the search;
a results component for controlling the search in the document based on results criteria, the results component terminating the search when said specified page at which to end the search has been reached; and
a view component for presenting results information in a view via the micro-browser, the results information including occurrences of the keyword in the document.

Abstract
Architecture that enables a user to connect, search, and review information under a mobile context by interacting through a micro-browser. The current “Find” experience can now be made part of the document search functionality thereby allowing the user to enter one or more keywords to quickly search and obtain the information desired. The “Find” feature can be part of the micro-browser viewer and solves the current inability of the user to view and read documents on the small display of the mobile device. Additionally, users can choose to search from the current page or from the beginning of the document. Results are listed with the keyword(s) emphasized (e.g., highlighted) in a portion of the content in which the keyword(s) was found. The page number can also be presented. Each result can be presented is an active link that automatically navigates the user directly to the associated keyword of the page.
