Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a search process are provided. One method includes receiving user information from a user application, the user information associated with a search provider maintaining search services and non-search services. The method further includes transmitting the user information to the search provider, and receiving one or more cookies from the search provider. The method also includes receiving a user request from a user application, the user request addressed to the search provider, comparing the user request to a list of non-search services maintained by the search provider, and, upon determining that the user request is associated with a search service, transmitting the user request to the search service without transmitting the one or more cookies.
