The invention relates to a driver information system (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one central control unit (7), a display (5), at least one input means (3), and a plurality of applications (56a, 56b, 56c, 56d, 56e), which each define a category and which are each connected to a database (58a, 58b, 58c, 58e, 58d) having category-specific data, wherein the central control unit (7) contains a central search component (50; 50b), one or more instances of which can be called up at any time by a user of the driver information system (1) by means of a human-machine interface (50), wherein an application of the driver information system currently running in the foreground defines a context for a search, and wherein each of the one or more instances of the search component performs, in at least one category associated with one of the applications, a context-specific search query in the category-specific data, in that searching is performed primarily in the category-specific data of the application from which the search was called up and secondarily in all available data. |
