Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to tree representations of object hierarchies and provide a method, system and computer program product for large tree view navigation. In an embodiment of the invention, a tree view navigation method can be provided. The method can include selecting a node in a tree view of an object hierarchy, specifying filter text in a filter control for the selected node, and filtering a branch of nodes extending from the selected node to include only nodes including the filter text. In this way, despite a voluminous number of nodes in the branch, relevant nodes can be located flexibly and efficiently.
