  • Publication number: 20190199710
    Abstract: An example method for migrating communication data from a source server to a target server includes obtaining, using a computing device, a set of credentials to access the source server, and accessing the source server using the set of credentials. The method also includes requesting, automatically by the computing device, a directory structure associated with communication data from the source server, populating, by the computing device, the target server using the directory structure, requesting the communication data from the source server, and populating the target server with the communication data.

  • Patent number: 10262080
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search suggestion technology. In at least one implementation, a personal information application includes a search suggestion element in which both search suggestions and contacts suggestions may be presented. The personal information application includes a search element in a user interface to a personal information service in which a search query may be entered. Search suggestions and contact suggestions can be identified based at least in part on the search query and presented via a suggestion element in the user interface. An indication of interest made with respect to a contact suggestion results in the presentation of contact details for an associated contact. The presentation of at least the search suggestions persists while the contact details of the associated contact are presented.

  • Patent number: 9098556
    Abstract: Tools and techniques for indexing and searching dynamically changing search corpora are provided. These tools may receive requests to upload documents over a network to an online document repository, and present a user interface to facilitate the upload. The user interface may include devices that are responsive to user activation to grant permission to at least one other user to search for content contained within the documents. Through the user interface, these tools may receive selections from the user related to granting the permission, with the documents being associated with share parameters that incorporate the user selections. Finally, the tools may receive identifications of the documents to be uploaded.

  • Publication number: 20140344250
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search refinement. In at least one implementation, a search is initiated of information items in a personal information database based. The search may be performed based on, for example, a search query received through a user interface to a personal information service. Search results are presented via the user interface, as well as various suggested refiners with which to refine the search. Prior to refining the search results, at least more than one of the suggested refiners may be selected or otherwise indicated as of interest. The search results are then refined using the selected refiners and the refined results presented through the user interface.
