Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) for an audio video display device (AVDD) such as a TV includes content panels which can be selected for searching for additional information related to the content underlying the content panels. A history of previous searches is maintained in memory 'stacked' notionally to the left or right of the current display so that a viewer can easily review previous search results using a simple scroll command.
