Claim:
1. A system comprising: a processor; circuitry for receiving a search query; circuitry for obtaining a first search result responsive to the search query, the first search result including a geographic identifier; circuitry for obtaining a second search result responsive to the search query, the second search result not including a geographic identifier; circuitry for determining a movement status of a first interface device; circuitry for indicating via the first interface device, a preference either for the first search result including a geographic identifier or for the second search result not including a geographic identifier responsive to the movement status of the first interface device; circuitry for determining from key press input from a first user whether or not the first user has apparently corroborated a configuration feature, the configuration feature being a search term related to the first search result and to the second search result; circuitry for expressing the search term related to the first search result and to the second search result at a first interface that includes a character sequence obtained from a second interface, the first interface being the first interface device, the preference either for the first search result or for the second search result being partly based on whether or not the first search result includes the character sequence obtained from the second interface and partly based on whether or not the second search result includes the character sequence obtained from the second interface; circuitry for associating a first device used by the first user with a second device used by a second user in response to an association request from the first user, the first device being the first interface device; circuitry for determining whether or not the first user has apparently assented to a structured dialog configured to initiate a search by which the first search result and the second search result may be identified; circuitry for generating a first coordinate and a second coordinate that jointly characterize a position of a portion of an appendage of a user within an image containing an informational element, the preference either for the first search result or for the second search result being partly based on the informational element and partly based on the first coordinate and partly based on the second coordinate; and circuitry for ranking a first component of a search result in relation to a second component of the search result partly based on a digital expression of a time of day and partly based on whether or not a confirmation of a search criterion has been received, the search criterion not being the first geographic identifier recognition criterion, the first component of the search result including the first search result, the second component of the search result including the second search result.
