Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for integrating native software help content with content from other data sources (e.g., community and/or expert sources). When a user signals that they'd like to engage a software help resource from one of various entry points within the software, the user is redirected to a search engine and a partial search query is formulated based upon perceived user intent and context within the software application. At least one attribute of a computing ecosystem associated with the user computing device is appended to the partial search query to create a complete search query and the complete search query is supplied to the search engine. The native help authority is integrated with contextual web results and both are presented to the user.
