11. A system for searching for an item, the system comprising control circuitry configured to: receive a keystroke sequence, wherein a keystroke of the keystroke sequence is associated with a symbol; in response to receiving the keystroke sequence, search a collection of items to generate a first result set of items, wherein each item of the collection of items is associated with metadata, and wherein the searching comprises identifying items that comprise symbols associated with the keystroke sequence in the metadata; generate for display the items of the first result set; receive a user selection of an item of the first result set; receive a user input that selects a search option that corresponds to metadata associated with the selected item; obtain, without receiving an additional keystroke sequence, metadata associated with the selected item after receiving the user selection of the item and the user input; search the collection of items to generate a second result set of items based on the obtained metadata associated with the selected item, wherein the searching comprises identifying items that comprise the obtained metadata associated with the selected item; and generate for display the items of the second result set.
