Systems And Methods Of Performing Searches Within A Text Input Application

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor of an electronic communication apparatus having a display, cause the electronic communication apparatus to:

• display, on the display, a messaging screen of a messaging application;
• detect a request to execute a keyboard applet within the messaging application;
• in response to detecting the request to execute the keyboard applet, display a keyboard screen on the display of a communication apparatus;
• display a search applet button;
• detect selection of the search applet button;
• in response to detecting selection of the search applet button, execute a search applet, which displays a search input field configured to receive search input data;
• receive search input data entered into the search input field;
• perform a search of a server based on the input data;
• receive media content based on the results of the search of the server;
• and
• display, on the display, the media content within at least a portion of a keyboard region of the display.

An electronic communication apparatus, comprising:

• a display;
• a processor coupled to the display;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• display, on the display, a messaging screen of a messaging application, the messaging application configured to transmit and receive messages;
• detect a request to execute a keyboard applet within the messaging application, the keyboard applet configured to receive keyboard input from the display;
• display the keyboard applet on the display in response to detecting the request to execute the keyboard applet, the keyboard applet including a search applet button;
• detect selection of the search applet button;
• receive search input data;
• perform a search of a server based on the search input data;
• generate media content based on the search input data;
• and
• display, on the display, the media content within the keyboard applet.
