Abstract
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for a system to provide information based on a query, the method comprising: performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the query; providing a result of said search to a user; based on user input, performing a second search of at least one second source for information responsive to the query; and providing a result of said second search to the user.
Claims19
A method for a system to provide information based on a dictionary lookup query, the method comprising:
- performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the dictionary lookup query;
- providing a result of said first search to a component of the system;
- receiving a selection of one of a plurality of collections (“bookshelves”) of second sources, wherein each bookshelf of second sources indicates at least one second source to be used in a second search;
- based on a user input, a language pair and a user selection of available second sources, wherein the available second sources are specific to the language pair, wherein the available second sources include a local dictionary and an online dictionary, performing the second search of the at least one second source for information responsive to the dictionary lookup query;
- and
- providing a result of said second search to the component of the system.
A user computer device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instruction which when executed by the processor cause the user computer device to perform a method comprising:
- performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the query;
- providing a result of said first search to the memory;
- receiving a selection of one of a plurality of collections (“bookshelves”) of second sources, wherein each bookshelf of second sources indicates at least one second source to be used in a second search;
- based on a user input, a language pair and a user selection of available second sources, wherein the available second sources are specific to the language pair, wherein the available second sources include a local dictionary and an online dictionary, performing the second search of the at least one second source for information responsive to the query;
- and
- providing a result of said second search to the memory.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which when executed by a computer device causes the computer device to perform:
- performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the query;
- providing a result of said search;
- receiving a selection of one of a plurality of collections (“bookshelves”) of second sources, wherein each bookshelf of second sources indicates at least one second source to be used in a second search;
- based on a user input, a language pair and a user selection of available second sources, wherein the available second sources are specific to the language pair, wherein the available second sources include a local dictionary and an online dictionary, performing the second search of the at least one second source for information responsive to the query;
- and
- providing a result of said second search to a user interface.
