Abstract
A determination is made that each of at least two social network contacts involved in a social messaging interaction initiate a separate web search associated with the social messaging interaction. A separate set of web search results returned to each of the at least two social network contacts is captured in association with each initiated separate web search. A combined live search results view that includes each captured separate set of web search results is provided to each of the at least two social network contacts. The combined live search results view provides navigation to web content returned to other social network contacts.

A system, comprising:
- an output module;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- determine that at least two social network contacts involved in a social messaging interaction each initiate a separate web search associated with the social messaging interaction;
- capture, in association with each initiated separate web search, a separate set of web search results returned to each of the at least two social network contacts;
- and
- provide, via the output module, to each of the at least two social network contacts, a combined live search results view comprising each captured separate set of web search results, where the combined live search results view provides navigation to web content returned to other social network contacts.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
- determine that at least two social network contacts involved in a social messaging interaction each initiate a separate web search associated with the social messaging interaction;
- capture, in association with each initiated separate web search, a separate set of web search results returned to each of the at least two social network contacts;
- and
- provide, to each of the at least two social network contacts, a combined live search results view comprising each captured separate set of web search results, where the combined live search results view provides navigation to web content returned to other social network contacts.
