Electronic system with search mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of an electronic system comprising:

• receiving information related to a user entry under a search context;
• generating a query based on identifying multiple instances of a substring from the information including a text entered as the user entry, wherein each of the substring is ranked according to a substring rank in an order relevant to the search context;
• performing searches with a processor based on the query to search within applications wherein each of the searches performed by each of the applications is independent from one another and each of the applications is a different classification from another;
• and
• concurrently displaying search results in a format based on the searches and based on a proximity threshold between two devices executing the applications,
• wherein a first instance of the search results from a first search performed in a first application type is displayed in a first display format that is native to the first application type and a second instance of the search results from a second search performed in a second application type is displayed in a second display format that is different from the first display format and native to the second application type.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• receive information related to a user entry under a search context;
• generate a query based on identifying multiple instances of a substring from the information including a text entered as the user entry, wherein each of the sub string is ranked according to a substring rank in an order relevant to the search context;
• perform searches with the processor based on the query to search within applications wherein each of the searches performed by each of the applications is independent from one another and each of the applications is a different classification from another;
• and
• concurrently display search results in a format based on the searches and based on a proximity threshold between two devices executing the applications,
• wherein a first instance of the search results from a first search performed in a first application type is displayed in a first display format that is native to the first application type and a second instance of the search results from a second search performed in a second application type is displayed in a second display format that is different from the first display format and native to the second application type.
