  • APPLICATION INSTALLATION FROM SEARCH RESULTS
    Publication number: 20140359598
    Abstract: A search management system receives at a computing device one or more search results from a search operation based on a search query. The search operation was performed a search on content in a datastore accessible through an application. At least one of the search results is associated with an application identifier identifying the application. A contextual application installer determines whether the application identified by the application identifier is already installed for execution by the computing device and installs the application on the computing device, if the application is not already installed on the computing device. As part of the installing operation, the contextual application installer presents a prompt identifying the application and installs the application on the computing device if an instruction to install the application is received responsive to presentation of the prompt.
