  • Publication number: 20120016861
    Abstract: An application programming interface (API) includes an interface implemented by a software program or firmware program which enables an application to interact with other software or with firmware. An API can facilitates interaction between different software programs. Registration of an application can be the notification, by an API which corresponds to a non-native application, to native applications and to a core search framework of a mobile communications device. A core search framework provides a mechanism which enables an application to register as a provider of searchable data. A media application provides a search API media subset which enables non-native applications to register and enables non-native applications to indicate media type categories for which non-native applications may be searched. Registered non-native applications are launched based upon the type of media utilized by a media application.
