ABSTRACT:
The processing system10is disclosed which uses a user interface12to interact with the search and control engine16and the display engine18. The search and control engine16operates on a data set14to identify specific elements within a directory structure. Display engine18compiles the identified elements in a tree table20to format a display22associated with the directory structure. Pruning indicator34and a sibling pruning indicator36are used in the display22to inform the user that intermediate directory structures and sibling elements have been omitted from the display in order to show the identified elements in a truncated context within the complex directory structure.
