Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for updating answers with references in forums. In some implementations, a method includes presenting a media item including a question, a box for updating the media item with an answer, and a search field for entering a search query. In response to at least a search request entered in the search field, the search request is automatically executed with a remote search engine. A search result with an associated graphical element configured to update an answer to the question with a reference to the search result is presented. The answer including the search-result reference is automatically updated in response to at least a user selecting the associated graphical element.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for presenting references with answers in forums. In some implementations, a method for executing an embedded search query includes presenting a media item including a question, an answer, and a reference for the answer. The reference embeds in the answer a search result and a previously-executed search query used to identify the search result, and a graphical element configured to execute the search query. The presented search query is automatically executed in response to at least a user selecting the graphical element.
