Hierarchical display of content. A hierarchical tree structure has nodes that correspond to queries. A static visual representation of a node that is in a top level of the hierarchical tree structure is displayed such that it is selectable by a user. In response to selection of a static visual representation, a corresponding static query is executed to receive visual representations of stored content, and the received visual representations are displayed such that they are selectable. In response to user selection of a received visual representation, a corresponding dynamic query is executed to receive visual representations of stored content, and the visual representations received from the dynamic query are displayed such that they are selectable. The dynamic query corresponds to a child node of a node that corresponds to a previously executed query. The visual representations received from the dynamic query match the corresponding selected visual representation.

Generation of browsing hierarchies. A hierarchical tree structure is generated. The hierarchical tree structure has nodes that correspond to at least one query. Content stored in the content source is browsed by sequentially executing queries corresponding to nodes of the hierarchical tree structure, in accordance with a hierarchy of the hierarchical tree structure.

Browsing content stored in a content source. A content source identifier corresponding to the content source, a content type, and a hierarchical structure are received. The hierarchical structure defines a hierarchy of content stored in the content source that is independent of the file structure of the content stored in the content source. A guided browse function is generated based on the content source identifier. The content stored in the content source is searched by using the guided browse function, wherein in response to receiving a request from a presentation module to browse content corresponding to a selected node in the hierarchical structure, the guided browse function searches the content stored in the content source by using a search query corresponding to the selected node, and returns results of the search to the presentation module. The results are presented to a user by using the presentation module.

Methods, systems, and means for presenting menu options in a media guidance application are provided. In particular, a user selection of a primary menu option is received in the media guidance application. A plurality of sub-menu options that correspond to the primary option selected is determined. Subsequently, for each of the plurality of sub-menu options, it is determined whether the sub-menu option has guidance data and/or content associated with the primary menu option selected. This guidance data and/or content can be either data and/or media in accordance with some embodiments of the invention. For each of the plurality of sub-menu options that does not have guidance data and/or content associated with the primary menu option selected, the sub-menu option is prevented from being presented to a user.
