in response to determining that the trigger term has been included in the plurality of input terms, determine media playback information that includes timing information corresponding to a time at which the query was received during the presentation of the media content and media content identification information, wherein the timing information comprises a first timestamp corresponding to a time at which the trigger term was received and a second timestamp corresponding to a time at which a last term in the query was received;

cause a search to be performed that includes the query, the timing information, and the media content identification information, wherein the query includes at least a portion of the plurality of input terms other than the trigger term;

obtain a search result that is responsive to the query; and

present at least a portion of the search result to the query on a display associated with the computing device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least a portion of the search result is determined to be presented on the display of the computing device based on search popularity information associated with the search result.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

retrieve the media playback information prior to receiving the query; and

associate the media playback information with the query in response to receiving the trigger term.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to:

receive a request to associate with a media playback device, wherein the media playback device is presenting media content and wherein the media playback device is executing a media application that exchanges the media playback information with a mobile application executing on the computing device;

associate the computing device with the media playback device; and

activate an audio input device associated with the computing device to receive ambient sounds in response to associating with the media playback device, wherein the received ambient sounds are converted to the plurality of input terms.
