Navigation for complex dashboards

I found a really nicely implemented Find function on Bluehost’s pretty complex hosting dashboard. It combines the lookup capabilities of a program like Quicksilver or Spotlight, but uses the actual dashboard interface to show the filtered search results.

Click on ‘Demo Login’ button

I’ve thinking this could be a useful model for navigating a personal health record. Imagine if the icons on this example dashboard were instead PHR fields or doctors you have saved to your PHR. This would definitely help in retrieving information out of PHR quickly or make updating a single value easier.

    I remember a gentleman by the name of Ted Herron who suggested nearly the same idea. :-)
