Abstract
Product information from local searches can be furnished based on user actions with respect to an eCommerce system. Information about user actions with respect to a product on the eCommerce system can be retrieved from the eCommerce system. A user intent to purchase the product may be determined based on the information about user actions. The product may then be matched to a product on a local search service. A local search on the matched product may then be performed on the local service, to locate one or more stores local to a user's current location that have the matched product in stock. The results from the local search may be displayed to a user.
