Abstract

A system that enables the efficient identification and/or retrieval of certain timeline content from amongst e.g. a great many options of similar content. Generally, a set of timeline metadata that describes some aspect or aspects of the content of the timeline is produced. This set of timeline metadata includes timing and descriptive information that maps the described aspect or aspects to specific locations within the source timeline. When a user initiates a search of the timeline content, the search criteria is quickly matched against the contents of this separate set of metadata, rather than the raw timeline data itself. When the search criteria is matched, the metadata, original data, or both may be returned.
