    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing relevant information for a term identified in a user message. A user can read or write a message and one or more terms can be identified in the message, where an identified term may comprise one or more words or characters. One or more data structures comprising indications of temporally recognized terms can be stored locally, and the identified terms can be compared against the locally stored data, such as for fast retrieval. If the identified term matches one or more of the temporally recognized terms in the locally stored data, the user may select the temporally recognized term to perform an action assigned to the temporally recognized term. The assigned action can comprise retrieving relevant information for the term, such as finding movie times (e.g., where the term comprises a movie title).
