Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method further includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application.

Abstract: A user device includes a computing device. The computing device transmits a search query from the user device and receives a first grouped set of search results based on the search query. The first grouped set corresponds to a first application. The first grouped set includes a header and at least two search results. The header includes a first access mechanism corresponding to a first state of the first application. Each of the search results (i) corresponds to a respective second state of the first application responsive to the search query and (ii) includes a respective second access mechanism corresponding to the respective second state. A display displays (i) the first grouped set of search results and (ii) a header link corresponding to the header. In response to the header link being selected, the computing device accesses the first state of the application using the first access mechanism.

Abstract: A method of performing a search includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header, an expansion element associated with the header, and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application. The expansion element has an expanded state and a collapsed state.
