Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating a sparse tree view for presenting and assisting a user to conduct searches and navigate through a hierarchical file system more efficiently. A sparse tree assists a user to navigate through search or filtering results by hiding irrelevant information and indicating locations with the highest rate of “hits” using a form of heatmap or other indicator of the potential relevance of a tree node or leaf.
