A system and method for operating system includes a first user device, a second user device, and a first device having a controller and a first database storing a first data object of a first type of data associated therewith and a second database storing a second data object of a second type of data associated therewith different than the first type of data. The second database is accessible separately from and simultaneously with the first database. The second data object forms a second portion of a display. The controller has an application interface selecting a selected database from the first, second database or both and separately and simultaneously accessing the first and second database based on the first user input command and the second user input command to obtain stored data and separately and simultaneously communicating stored data to the first user device and to the second user device.

Method and system for storing program guide data in a user device

A system and method for operating a user device includes a receiver that receives a first data object and a second data object. A first memory stores the first data object and a second memory stores the second data object. The second memory is separate from the first memory. A user interface module generates a user input command. An application interface selects a memory location from the first memory or the second memory and obtaining stored data from the first memory or the second memory based on the user input commands. A display displays the stored data.

A system and method for searching for content in a user device includes a receiver receiving a plurality of data objects. The user device includes a search module comprising a parsing module parsing search data from the plurality of data objects and a memory interface module storing search data within a memory of the user device. The search module comprises a search performance module searching the search data in response to a search query. The search module comprises a search results module generating search results from the search data. The user device is associated with a display that displays the search results.
