Abstract

An aspect provides a method, including: accessing a tagging profile based on a store of historical user object information; determining, using the processor, a current user object search has been made by a user; determining, using the processor, a priority smart tag for providing results for the current user object search based on the tagging profile; and providing the results of the current user object search according to the priority tag determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

accessing, using first user device, a tagging profile based on a store of historical user object information, wherein the tagging profile includes priority tag data for a particular user;

determining, using a processor of the first user device, a user object search has been made by the particular user, wherein the user object search is directed to finding an object generated by the first user device;

determining, using the processor, a priority smart tag used for organizing results from the user object search, wherein the priority smart tag corresponds to a tag or tag category frequently used by the particular user in object searching, indicated by the priority tag data;

searching, using the first device, user objects having one or more tags associated therewith;

determining, using a processor of the first device, that a tag of a user object is associated with the priority smart tag; and

providing the results of the user object search, wherein the results are ordered to promote the user object having the tag associated with the priority smart tag.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the results of the user object search comprises organizing the results based on an organization selected from the group of organizations consisting of:

ranking results of the user object search based on the priority smart tag;

grouping results based on the priority smart tag; and

limiting results to object storage locations associated with the priority smart tag.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tagging profile is group specific.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the tagging profile indicates priority smart tag categories frequently used by a group.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the group is associated with a user making the user object search via cloud account data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority smart tag is associated with a user object file type.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user object is an object resident on one or more devices associated with the user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tagging profile includes system tags automatically generated by the first user device operating a sensor and automatically associating the tags with user objects at time of object generation, wherein the tags comprise geographic location data.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tagging profile includes system tags automatically generated by the first user device operating a sensor and automatically associating the tags with user objects at time of object generation, wherein the tags comprise weather data.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions accessible to the processor, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

access a tagging profile based on a store of historical user object information, wherein the tagging profile includes priority tag data for a particular user;

determine, using the processor, a user object search has been made by the particular user, wherein the user object search is directed to finding an object generated by the information handling device;

determine, using the processor, a priority smart tag used for organizing results from the user object search, wherein the priority smart tag corresponds to a tag or tag category frequently used by the particular user in object searching, indicated by the priority tag data;

search user objects having one or more tags associated therewith:

determine that a tag of a user object is associated with the priority smart tag; and

provide the results of the user object search, wherein the results are ordered to promote the user object having the tag associated with the priority smart tag.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein to provide the results comprises organizing the results based on an organization selected from the group of organizations consisting of:

ranking results of the user object search based on the priority smart tag;

grouping results based on the priority smart tag; and

limiting results to object storage locations associated with the priority smart tag.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the tagging profile is group specific.

13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the tagging profile indicates priority smart tag categories frequently used by a group.

14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the group is associated with a user making the user object search via cloud account data.

15. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the priority smart tag is associated with a user object file type.

16. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that accesses, using first user device, a tagging profile based on a store of historical user object information, wherein the tagging profile includes priority tag data for a particular user;

code that determines, using a processor of the first user device, a user object search has been made by the particular user, wherein the user object search is directed to finding an object generated by the first user device;

code that determines, using the processor, a priority smart tag used for organizing results from the user object search, wherein the priority smart tag corresponds to a tag or tag category frequently used by the particular user in object searching, indicated by the priority tag data;

code that searches, using the first device. user objects having one or more tags associated therewith;

code that determines, using a processor of the first device, that a tag of a user object is associated with the priority smart tag: and

code that provides the results of the user object search, wherein the results are ordered to promote the user object having the tag associated with the priority smart tag.
