  • Publication number: 20180089182
    Abstract: Embodiments allow for searching across multiple devices for user content. A user enters search criteria in a user interface client, which forwards the search criteria to a central search server. The search server forwards the search criteria to search agents on a plurality of other devices associated with the user. The search agents use local search functionality to identify any content that meets the search criteria. The search agents send result metadata to the user interface client via the search server. The user interface client combines result metadata from multiple devices for presentation to the user. After the user selects desired content, the selected content is retrieved from a hosting remote device via the search server.
