1. A computing device, comprising:
- a memory;
a storage;
a display; and
a processor coupled to the memory, to the storage, and to the display, the processor being configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to;
receive an input from a single user, the received input comprising at least one search term;
access, over a computer network, at least one of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and a Direct Attached Storage (DAS);
associate the received input with a search result comprising at least one digital item stored in the at least one of the NAS and the DAS based upon;
the received input;
prior inputs of search terms to the at least one of the NAS and DAS by the single user;
prior accesses of the at least one digital item stored in at least one of the NAS and the DAS based upon the prior inputs of the search terms; and
prior associations of the search terms of the prior inputs with prior search results comprising the at least one stored digital item,wherein at least some of the search terms of the prior inputs are unrelated to a name, original metadata and content of the at least one stored digital item and have previously led the single user to find and access the at least one digital item; and
present the at least one digital item to the single user on the display of the computing device.

Abstract
A computer-perceptible search input, whether typed, spoken, based upon machine vision, detection and/or interpretation of gestures, for example, may be received by a computing device from a single user. The received input by the single user may be matched with one or more stored digital items based upon prior inputs by the single user that previously led the single user to access the digital item(s). That is, it may be determined whether the received input is the same or similar to a previous input or inputs that led the computing device to search for, select and present digital items that were subsequently accessed (e.g., opened) by the user, which action signifies a successful search.

10. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving an input from a single user in a computing device comprising memory, storage, and a display, the received input comprising at least one search term; accessing, over a computer network, at least one of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and a Direct Attached Storage (DAS); associating the received input with a search result comprising at least one digital item stored in the at least one of the NAS and the DAS based upon; the received input; prior inputs of search terms to the at least one of the NAS and DAS by the single user; prior accesses of the at least one digital item stored in at least one of the NAS and the DAS based upon the prior inputs of the search terms; and prior associations of the search terms of the prior inputs with prior search results comprising the at least one stored digital item, wherein at least some of the search terms of the prior inputs are unrelated to a name, original metadata and content of the at least one stored digital item and have previously led the single user to find and access the at least one digital item; and presenting the at least one digital item on the display of the computing device to the single user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method of accessing a digital item stored on at least one of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving computer-perceptible search inputs from a single user in a computing device comprising memory, storage, and a display, at least one of the computer-perceptible search inputs comprising search terms that are unrelated to a name, original metadata, or content of the stored digital item; determining a similarity of the received computer-perceptible search inputs with one or more previously-stored indicia of computer-perceptible search inputs to the at least one of the NAS and DAS devices from the single user, and that previously led the single user to access the stored digital item based upon; the received computer-perceptible search inputs; prior computer-perceptible search inputs of search terms by the single user; prior accesses of the at least one digital item stored in at least one of the NAS and the DAS devices based upon the prior computer-perceptible search inputs of the search terms; and prior associations of the search terms of the prior computer-perceptible search inputs with prior search results comprising the at least one stored digital item; accessing, over a computer network, the at least one of the NAS and the DAS devices; retrieving the stored digital item responsive to the determined similarity exceeding a predetermined threshold; and presenting the stored digital item to the single user on the display of the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
