SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING DATA IN AN INTELLIGENT TELEVISION
An intelligent television can store and retrieve data about various functions of the television or associated with user behavior. The stored data streamlines the processes of providing electronic programming guide information, providing search results, providing statistics about content, providing channel information, etc. The unique set of data services in the intelligent television receive, store, manage, and retrieve the data for various of the applications or components.

10 . A method for managing data associated with an intelligent television, the method comprising:
receiving a search query for content in the intelligent television, wherein the search query includes two or more terms;
returning at least one result based on the two or more terms;
parsing the two or more terms; and
storing the search query and the at least one result, wherein the stored search query includes the two or more terms.
11 . An intelligent television system comprising:
a memory operable to store social media data;
a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operable to:
execute a live television subservice operable to:
receive a search query for content in the intelligent television, wherein the search query includes two or more terms;
return at least one result based on the two or more terms;
parse the two or more terms; and
store the search query and the at least one result, wherein the stored search query includes the two or more terms.
12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon processor executable instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:
instructions to receive a search query for content in the intelligent television, wherein the search query includes two or more terms;
instructions to return at least one result based on the two or more terms;
instructions to parse the two or more terms; and
instructions to store the search query and the at least one result, wherein the stored search query includes the two or more terms.

16 . The method as defined in claim 10 , further comprises: receiving a new search query for content in the intelligent television; retrieving the stored search query; and presenting the previous search query as a selectable user interface device.
17 . The method as defined in claim 16 , wherein two or more search queries are stored and presented as previous searches.
18 . The method as defined in claim 17 , further comprises: presenting a first result after a first search term is entered; and dynamically presenting a second result after a second search term is entered.
19 . The method as defined in claim 18 , further comprises: determining if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical; if the search query is alphanumeric, receiving the two or more terms; if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical, determining the statistic used for the search query.
20 . The method as defined in claim 19 , wherein the statistic is one of last viewed, most viewed, recently added, or favorite.
21 . The method as defined in claim 20 , further comprises returning a result based on the determined statistic.
22 . The method as defined in claim 21 , wherein at least two most recently added returns are presented.
23 . The method as defined in claim 22 , wherein the last viewed result included content that was partially viewed.
24 . The method as defined in claim 23 , wherein the search is entered in a search panel that overlays the content being viewed.
25 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 11 , wherein the live television subservice is further operable to: receive a new search query for content in the intelligent television; retrieve the stored search query; and wherein the user interface application is further operable to present the previous search query as a selectable user interface device, wherein two or more search queries are stored and presented as previous searches.
26 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 25 , wherein the user interface application is further operable to: present a first result after a first search term is entered; and dynamically present a second result after a second search term is entered.
27 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 26 , wherein the live television subservice is further operable to: determine if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical; if the search query is alphanumeric, receive the two or more terms; if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical, determine the statistic used for the search query, wherein the statistic is one of last viewed, most viewed, recently added, or favorite; and return a result based on the determined statistic.
28 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 27 , wherein at least two most recently added returns are presented.
29 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 12 , further comprises instructions to: receive a new search query for content in the intelligent television; retrieve the stored search query; and present the previous search query as a selectable user interface device, wherein two or more search queries are stored and presented as previous searches.
30 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 29 , further comprises instructions to: present a first result after a first search term is entered; and dynamically present a second result after a second search term is entered.
31 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 30 , further comprises instructions to: determine if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical; if the search query is alphanumeric, receive the two or more terms; if the search query is alphanumeric or statistical, determine the statistic used for the search query, wherein the statistic is one of last viewed, most viewed, recently added, or favorite; and return a result based on the determined statistic.
32 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 31 , wherein at least two most recently added returns are presented.
