A system, method and computer program product for a search tool is provided. A user-input search term is received in a search tool for finding instances of the search term in a document currently presented to the user. An instance of the search term in a hidden content element of the document is identified. A content element is determined for exposing the hidden content element. The determined content element is presented to the user and highlighted, to prompt user interaction therewith so as to expose the hidden content element.

Identifying objects in an image. An image is received. One or more objects in the image are identified, based on a database of identified objects, and wherein one or more other objects in the image are unidentified based on the database of identified objects. One or more salient objects in the image is identified, based on execution of a saliency algorithm. A generic location for the image is determined, based on the one or more identified salient objects and a database that associates objects with generic locations. One or more of the unidentified objects are identified, based on the determined generic location for the image.

Adaptive scrolling can be used to navigate through a file displayed in a viewing area of a screen of a computer system. A method of adaptive scrolling can include receiving a user input of a start indicator in the form of a character or format feature of the file and detecting an end indicator corresponding to the start indicator. The user input can define a bound section between the start indicator and the end indicator. The method can also include detecting user input of scrolling in the bound section and, in response, activating adaptive scrolling to accelerate the scrolling through at least a portion of the bound section towards the end indictor.

Adaptive scrolling through a displayed file

Identifying objects in an image. An image is received. A plurality of objects in the image are detected. One or more of the detected objects are identified, while one or more detected objects remain unidentified. From the identified detected objects, one or more salient objects are determined. Based on the salient objects, a generic location for the image is determined. Based on the determined generic location for the image, at least one of the unidentified detected objects is identified.
