Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that presents an appropriate audio cue based on a search request received from a user. For example, the media guidance application may determine that a media asset corresponding to the search request is of particular relevance to the user (e.g., it belongs to the user's favorite genre). The media guidance application may then determine an audio cue (e.g., a well-known sound effect) associated with the media asset and generate the audio cue for presentation. The media guidance application may also determine an animated image cue associated with the media asset and generate that for display as well. This may allow users, especially those with vision-related disabilities, to more easily identify media assets that may be particularly relevant to them.
