1. A computer-implemented method for enabling a user to efficiently navigate to a portion of a user interface configured to support performance of a particular task, the method comprising: receiving from the user a search input that includes a description of the particular task, wherein receiving comprises receipt by a processor associated with the computer, and wherein receiving further comprises receiving input communicated through a searching interface implemented as part of an operating system control panel user interface, the operating system control panel user interface being an interface that is part of a software operating system that manages hardware connected by a bus to the processor; utilizing the processor to process the search input and to identify a result set that corresponds to the description; utilizing the processor to render, and to present to the user, a search results output window on a display device associated with the computer, the window being rendered and presented in response to the user search input, wherein the window includes a visible rendering of the result set in the form of a plurality of selectable candidate tasks that correspond to said description, the window also including the plurality of selectable candidate tasks displayed relative to an also visibly rendered indication of at least one corresponding applet, and wherein the plurality of selectable candidate tasks and the indication of at least one corresponding applet are simultaneously rendered on the display device within the window: wherein the plurality of candidate tasks each include a selectable string of text that is at least partially descriptive of an underlying task and that, upon selection, supports a transfer to a corresponding portion or the user interlace, and wherein one or more of the selectable strings of text includes a word that was in the user search input, and wherein the word in the one or more of the selectable strings is highlighted in the search results output window; and wherein upon selection of the plurality of selectable candidate tasks, the processor supports a transfer to a corresponding portion of the user interface that supports performance of the task.
