Abstract
Systems and methods for range programming using a search query are disclosed. A method for range programming using a search query includes determining whether the search query comprises a range operation and identifying a target application to launch using a search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query. A range of results to process with the target application can be identified using the search application and based on the search query. The results can be separately within the range in the context of the target application.
Claims17
A method for range programming using a search query, comprising:
- determining, using a search application on a computing device, whether the search query comprises a range operation for a range comprising an initial range element and a next range element;
- identifying a target application from a plurality of target applications to launch using the search application which is separate from the target application and based on the search query;
- identifying a range of results to process with the target application using the search application and based on the search query;
- and
- using a search client, separately displaying the results for each result within the range in the context of the target application.
A system for contextually launching a range operation for a target application, comprising:
- a device comprising a search client for receiving a user search query including a range operation;
- a computing device comprising a search server for performing a search of the target application for a range of data comprising an initial range element and a next range element requested in the range operation based on the user search query;
- an application launcher for launching at least the target application of a plurality of target applications within the context of the user search query based on a result of the search;
- and
- a range operation module configured to determine whether the user search query comprises the range operation and further configured to cause the search server to perform the search for the range of data when the search query comprises the range operation,
- wherein the device and the computing device are the same or different devices.
