9. A computer-implemented content navigation method, comprising: receiving an indication of activation of a search switch having associated therewith a subset of alphanumeric characters; identifying a set of names associated with a corresponding set of content objects stored in a storage device responsive to the indication of activation, the set of names including at least one name having in a first character position at least one character in the subset of alphanumeric characters; responsive to the set of names including only one name having in the first character position the at least one character, displaying the one name; responsive to the set of names including more than the one name having in the first character position the at least one character, displaying in a first display position at least one place holder character associated with the at least one character in the subset of alphanumeric characters included in the set of names; and displaying in each subsequent display position subsequent instances of the at least one place holder character for subsequent indications of activations of any of a plurality of search switches until the displaying the only one name; wherein the at least one place holder character represents a count of unresolved characters in the set of names.
9. A computer-implemented content navigation method, comprising: receiving an indication of activation of a search switch having associated therewith a subset of alphanumeric characters; identifying a set of names associated with a corresponding set of content objects stored in a storage device responsive to the indication of activation, the set of names including at least one name having in a first character position at least one character in the subset of alphanumeric characters; responsive to the set of names including only one name having in the first character position the at least one character, displaying the one name; responsive to the set of names including more than the one name having in the first character position the at least one character, displaying in a first display position at least one place holder character associated with the at least one character in the subset of alphanumeric characters included in the set of names; and displaying in each subsequent display position subsequent instances of the at least one place holder character for subsequent indications of activations of any of a plurality of search switches until the displaying the only one name; wherein the at least one place holder character represents a count of unresolved characters in the set of names. 13. The computer-implemented content navigation method of claim 9 further comprising uniformly assigning different sets of characters to each of the plurality of search switches.
