In-place search
• Use existing ink to initiate a search– Stay in the flow of inking ‘n’ thinking
• Queries stay with the ink– Preserve what/why context of searching
• Interleaves search with other tasks– Jot notes while you search, flip pages,
abandon & resume searches…
• Tightly couple queries with app content– Results of queries become new content
