Abstract
A collaborative search session is provided hosted by one or more computing devices. First query data is received from a first computing device in a collaborative search session. Further, second query data is received from a second computing device in the collaborative search session. A corpus of resources can be caused to be searched based at least in part on the first and second query data to identify a particular search result set for the collaborative search session. At least a portion of the particular search result set can be caused to be presented on each of the first and second computing devices participating in the collaborative search session.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving first query data from a first computing device in a collaborative search session;
- receiving second query data from a second computing device in the collaborative search session;
- causing a corpus of resources to be searched based at least in part on the first and second query data to identify a particular search result set;
- and
- causing at least a portion of the particular search result set to be presented on each of the first and second computing devices.
Logic encoded in non-transitory media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor is operable to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first query data from a first computing device in a collaborative search session;
- receiving second query data from a second computing device in the collaborative search session;
- causing a corpus of resources to be searched based at least in part on the first and second query data to identify a particular search result set;
- and
- causing at least a portion of the particular search result set to be presented on each of the first and second computing devices.
A system comprising:
- a memory configured to store data;
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data;
- and
- a collaborative search tool, adapted when executed by the at least one processor device to:
- receive first query data from a first computing device in a collaborative search session;
- receive second query data from a second computing device in the collaborative search session;
- cause a corpus of resources to be searched using the first and second query data to identify a particular search result set;
- and
- cause at least a portion of the particular search result set to be presented on each of the first and second computing devices.
