Method, associated device, system, and computer program product for data management

A method and associated device, system, and computer program product for performing metadata-based searches of data files using particularly but not necessarily a small display and a limited user interface. In the method a user of the device selects at least one data item, which is stored in the memory of the device. The device calculates a distance between said selected data item and at least one data item of said plurality of data items, which distance is relative to the similarity of the meta-data between the selected data item and said plurality of data items. Finally the device then provides a visual symbol of said selected data item and the most similar data items of said plurality of data items on the display of the device.
