Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for maintaining dashboard state are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of accessing data identifying modifications that the user has previously applied to the dashboard. The actions further include applying, to the dashboard, the modifications that the user has previously applied to the dashboard. The actions further include providing, to the client device, the modified dashboard. The actions further include receiving, from the client device, additional modifications applied by the user to the modified dashboard. The actions further include updating the modifications that the user previously applied to the dashboard without updating the dashboard by adding data identifying the additional modifications to the data identifying the modifications.

Abstract: Techniques for searching using metadata indexing. In some implementations, a computing device receives data indicating a search request from a client device. The computing device analyzes the received data indicating the search request to determine content of the search request. The computing device receives one or more dossiers based on the content of the search query. The computing device identifies metadata and one or more index templates corresponding to each of the one or more retrieved dossiers. The computing device determines one or more matches between the data indicating the search query to the metadata and the one or more index templates corresponding to each of the one or more retrieved dossiers. The computing device generates search results that include the one or more matches based on characteristics of a type of match and weight values applied to each of the one or more matches based on the characteristics of the type of the match.

Abstract: Techniques for natural language visualizations using query formatting. In some implementations, a computing device receives data indicating a natural language query from a client device that indicates a topic of interest to a user. The computing device parses the data indicating the natural language query from the client device using a predefined delimiter. The computing device identifies one or more objects that represent each term parsed from the data indicating the natural language query. The computing device determines a visualization type based on the one or more objects to visualize a response to the natural language query provided by the mobile device. The computing device visualization data based on the visualization type, the one or more objects that represent each term parsed from the data, to a rendering component to transmit to the client device for display in response to the natural language query.
