Abstract: Techniques for optimizing delivery of online content to a mobile client device. In an aspect, a search application on the client device receives a user query, which is submitted to a server over a communications channel. The server retrieves a plurality of ranked search results relevant to the user query, and returns the search results to the client device. The search application further pre-fetches from the server and/or pre-renders content associated with a top plurality of the ranked search results, such that content may be instantly displayed at the client device if requested by the user. The identification and ranking of relevant search results by the server may be performed based on information provided by the client device that is customized to the user and/or the scenario, e.g., user account name, geographical location, device capabilities, etc.

Abstract: Access to online search results is provided when a user device is offline. When a user search query is received while online, the search query is submitted to an online search engine. Search results received from the search engine are presented to the user, and the search query and search results are stored in a local data storage. When the search query is received while offline, the search results associated with the stored search query are retrieved from the local data storage and presented to the user.
