  • Patent number: 11016786
    Abstract: Providing for search to facilitate discovery or access to configuration functions of a computer application is described herein. By way of example, metadata can be appended to configuration functions of the computer application. A matrix correlating subsets of metadata with related configuration functions can facilitate distinguishing respective configuration functions, or groups of related configuration functions based on the subsets of metadata. User search data can be referenced against the subsets of metadata. Respective subsets of metadata that satisfy a condition defined by a data matching function can be returned as a match, and configuration functions associated with matching metadata can be output in response to the search data.
    Type: Grant
