METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING SECONDARY SEARCH ACTIONS BASED ON PRIMARY SEARCH RESULT ATTRIBUTES
A method and system are provided for enhancing an initial set of data values generated by a query of one or more data stores. File parameters and file types are retrieved from the initial query and used to generate a second set of searches, actions, and information related to the initial set of data values. The results from the initial query and the secondary query are displayed on a presentation device.
1 . A method for enhancing search results that are deemed relevant to a search query, the method comprising:
receiving by a client computing device a first search query;
performing, on the client computing device, a local search of a datastore maintained on the client computing device using the first search query,
wherein a first set of documents stored in the datastore are deemed relevant to the first search query, and
wherein a portion of the first set of documents shares a common attribute;
automatically performing a remote search of a networked datastore that is networked with the client computing device to identify a second set of search results,
wherein the common attribute is used as a parameter of the remote search, and
wherein the second set of search results includes a remotely stored resource;
presenting a listing of the first set of documents in a first portion of a user interface; and
enhancing a presentation of the listing of the first set of documents by displaying a hyperlink, which enables navigation to the remotely stored resource, in a second portion of the user interface, such that the listing of the first set of documents and the hyperlink of the remotely stored resource are simultaneously displayed.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of email documents.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the common attribute includes a common domain string.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the common attribute includes a data type or a data property.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of media files and wherein the common attribute is a composer of content.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising, determining that the portion exceeds a threshold measure, such that exceeding the threshold measure is a condition precedent to using the common attribute as the parameter.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the remotely stored resource is a web page that is stored on a web server.
8 . Computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a client computing device, provide a method for enhancing search results that are deemed relevant to a search query, the method comprising:
receiving by the client computing device a first search query;
performing, on the client computing device, a local search of a datastore maintained on the client computing device using the first search query,
wherein a first set of documents stored in the datastore are deemed relevant to the first search query, and
wherein a portion of the first set of documents shares a common attribute;
automatically performing a remote search of a networked datastore that is networked with the client computing device to identify a second set of search results,
wherein the common attribute is used as a parameter of the remote search, and
wherein the second set of search results includes a web resource;
presenting a listing of the first set of documents in a first portion of a user interface; and
enhancing a presentation of the listing of the first set of documents by displaying a hyperlink, which enables navigation to the web resource, in a second portion of the user interface, such that the listing of the first set of documents and the hyperlink of the web resource are simultaneously displayed.
9 . The computer-storage media of claim 8 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of email documents.
10 . The computer-storage media of claim 9 , wherein the common attribute includes a common domain string.
11 . The computer-storage media of claim 8 , wherein the common attribute includes a data type or a data property.
12 . The computer-storage media of claim 8 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of media files and wherein the common attribute is a composer of content.
13 . The computer-storage media of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises determining that the portion exceeds a threshold measure, such that exceeding the threshold measure is a condition precedent to using the common attribute as the parameter.
14 . A computer system that enhances search results deemed relevant to a search query, the computer system including a processor coupled to computer-storage media, which includes instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
receiving by a client computing device a first search query;
performing, on the client computing device, a local search of a datastore maintained on the client computing device using the first search query,
wherein a first set of documents stored in the datastore are deemed relevant to the first search query, and
wherein a portion of the first set of documents shares a common attribute;
automatically performing a remote search of a networked datastore that is networked with the client computing device to identify a second set of search results,
wherein the common attribute is used as a parameter of the remote search, and
wherein the second set of search results includes a web resource;
presenting a listing of the first set of documents in a first portion of a user interface; and
enhancing a presentation of the listing of the first set of documents by displaying a hyperlink, which enables navigation to the web resource, in a second portion of the user interface, such that the listing of the first set of documents and the hyperlink of the web resource are simultaneously displayed.
15 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of email documents.
16 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the common attribute includes a common domain string.
17 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the common attribute includes a data type or a data property.
18 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the first set of documents is a set of media files and wherein the common attribute is a composer of content.
19 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises determining that the portion exceeds a threshold measure, such that exceeding the threshold measure is a condition precedent to using the common attribute as the parameter.
20 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the web resource includes a media player that is usable to render files having the common attribute.
