Abstract: Event workflow management in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one example, a process includes receiving a data package defining an event containing data representing a category corresponding to a type of activity of the event and having a workflow property. The process can then include creating or modifying a backend workflow of the event corresponding to the workflow property of the category and monitoring for the one or more status conditions of the event included in the backend workflow. When the monitoring indicates that the one or more status conditions of the event are satisfied, the one or more actions in the sequence of the backend workflow are executed in relation to the event.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for scheduling a meeting includes receiving a set of input parameters as meeting constraints. The meeting input parameters include a meeting organizer attendee identifier and multiple additional meeting attendee identifiers, a duration of the meeting, and a time frame within which to schedule the meeting. Calendar data is accessed from one or more servers storing calendar data corresponding to the organizer attendee and the meeting attendees based on the respective identifiers. The accessed calendar data is processed against the received set of input parameters to identify candidate meetings. In response to no candidate meeting matching all the input parameters, at least one parameter is automatically adjusted, and new candidate meetings are identified. Candidate meeting suggestions are communicated to a meeting organizer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that automatically process a message input, construct an intelligent query based on the processing of the message input, and provide at least one attachable entity according to the processing results and the intelligent query. In some example aspects, a message is received. A natural language processor to determine if the message is requesting content may then process the message. If the message is determined to be requesting content, then candidate sub-queries may be generated to serve as a training set for a query that will be sent to an external search engine to retrieve the attachable entity. The sub-queries may be ranked in order of relevance and performance score. The highest ranked sub-queries may then be used in the actual query that is fired against the external search engine. The external search engine may search local and remote repositories for the top K most relevant attachable entities and present them to a user for attachment in a reply message.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for validating a signature in a multi-tenant environment. A server or other computing device that is part of a distributed network may request a certificate collection from an identified tenant store. The requested certificate collection may be loaded in a virtual store that is accessible by the server or other computing device. The sever or other computing device may then access one or more certificates from the virtual store to validate a signature.

Abstract: Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of providing distributed index searching are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a database server, search terms included in a search query for content from a member and in response to receiving the search terms, determining a subset of the distributed indices to be searched in response to the search query based on the received search terms and one or more records of searching features on the database server. The method also includes providing the determined list of distributed indices to be searched based on the search terms in the search query.

Abstract: An application provides a search box that is configured to enable a user to enter searchable text. The application provides a quick pick search provider menu that is configured to include different sections that provide suggestions as text is entered into the search box. At least some of the suggestions are locally maintained, and at least some other of the suggestions are received from one or more remote search providers. In some embodiments, the application can comprise a web browser.

Abstract: In one implementation, form field(s) of a form of a website or application are populated with data obtained using a digital identity, and the populated form field(s) are submitted to the website or application. A form field specification specifying information about the form fields of the form is obtained. A user selects or creates a digital identity. Data is obtained using the digital identity, and the data is used to provide values to the form. The data is submitted to the website or application. In another implementation, a username and password are automatically generated. The username and password that are generated meet parameters that may be specified by the website or application. The username and password are submitted to the website or application for a purpose such as registration or authentication, and stored away for future authentication.

Abstract: A certificate management system provides automated management of certificate lifecycles and certificate distribution. Rather than depend upon an administrator to manually distribute and manage certificates, the system self-generates certificates, distributes the certificates to appropriate servers or other parties, and transitions from old certificates to new certificates in a well-defined manner that avoids breaking functionality. After generating one or more certificates, the system securely shares certificates in a way that parties that use them can find the new certificates without an administrator manually distributing the certificates. When it is time to update certificates, the system generates new certificates and shares the new certificates in a similar way. During a transition period, the system provides a protocol by which both old and new certificates can be used to perform authenticated access to resources, so that the transition from an old to a new certificate does not break services.

Abstract: An integrated program lookup browser provides an integrated system with an online program lookup web service that assists the user in finding these unrecognized files, protocols and web page objects by allowing the user to perform a program lookup on a web service that can search one or more databases and return the URL to download the appropriate application or protocol or return the actual program or protocol.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable information, in addition to textual information, to be presented to a user when the user enters a search query in a search box forming part of a user interface of an application. In one or more embodiments, a Web browser provides a search box in which a user can enter a search query. While the user is entering a search query, the Web browser can communicate with a third-party search provider to receive information, such as non-textual information, which can be presented to the user to assist in formulating their search query. The non-textual information can include images and other visual information of a non-textual nature.

Abstract: A Web browser includes a quick pick search provider menu that provides a user interface which provides a user with the ability to quickly select a new search provider which appears when the user places focus in the Web browser's search box. In one or more embodiments, the Web browser's search box comprises a native part of the Web browser and is not a search box associated with an installed tool bar. In other embodiments, search box functionality is provided as an extension to the Web browser. Further, various embodiments enable the user to switch between search providers in an easy and intuitive way. Yet other embodiments provide an opportunity for users to switch between search providers using keywords in the search box. Further embodiments enable users to define collections of search providers to which individual searches can be sent.
