  • Publication number: 20250036698
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for linking to a search result. A computing system receives a query and provides, to a first computing device, multiple results that are responsive to the query. The computing system provides, to the first computing device, information that identifies a web address of a user selected result of multiple results that are responsive to query. The computing system receives a request from a second computing device for content responsive to the web address of the user selected result. The computing system provides, to the second computing device, information to cause the second computing device to present the multiple results that are responsive to the query in distinction to the user selected result, responsive to the second computing device not being authorized to access the user selected result.

  • Patent number: 12143347
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A computing device can present a messaging user interface and receive user input of a typed message through interaction with the messaging user interface. The typed message can be sent for distribution to a second user account. The computing device can receive a system-generated response to the typed message that was generated by a searching system based on content of the typed message. The system-generated response to the typed message can be presented in the messaging user interface along with an indication that the system-generated response was generated by the searching system.
