Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: on a client system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs, the one or more processors executing the one or more programs to perform the operations of: receiving, in response to a respective search query entered by a user through an application running on the client system, a set of search results that are obtained by the client system by comparison of the search query against one or more multimedia events databases, wherein the set of search results are ordered based on scheduled time of broadcast associated with respective listings of content, the search results including data representing a plurality of time-bounded events, the plurality of time-bounded events corresponding to respective content in the listings of content; using the broadcast time and date of each respective time-bounded event in the plurality of time-bounded events to create a corresponding geometric object in a plurality of geometric objects, wherein each created geometric object in the plurality of geometric objects (i) uniquely represents the time and date of broadcast occurrence of the corresponding time-bounded event in the plurality of time bounded events and (ii) is associated with the time and date of broadcast occurrence of the corresponding time-bounded event; presenting the plurality of geometric objects along a first axis of a display bar, wherein the first axis represents a time and date of time-bounded event broadcast occurrence, and wherein each respective geometric object in the plurality of geometric objects is plotted along the first axis of the display bar in accordance with the time and date of broadcast occurrence associated with the respective geometric object, wherein
