Systems and methods for building an on-device temporal web index for user curated/preferred web content
A method and apparatus of a device that indexes donatable content from a network site is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a requested document, where the requested document includes a plurality of tags. In addition, the device detects a donatable tag in the plurality tags that indicates the network site includes donatable content. In response to the detecting, the device sends a request for the donatable content to the network site. Furthermore, the device receives the donatable content from the network site. The device additionally indexes the donatable content into an on-device search index, where at least some of the index donatable content is further returned as a search result for an on-device search.
1. A machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to index donatable content from a network site, the method comprising:
receiving, with a device, a requested document, wherein the requested document includes a plurality of tags;
detecting a donatable tag in the plurality of tags that indicates the network site includes donatable content, wherein the donatable content is metadata for a plurality of remotely downloadable objects accessible from the network site;
in response to the detecting, sending a request for the donatable content to the network site;
receiving the donatable content from the network site and the donatable content includes metadata for a cloud-based document associated with a cloud-based application; and
indexing, with the device, the donatable content into an on-device search index, wherein at least some of the indexed donatable content is further returned as a search result for an on-device search.
2. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein each of the metadata includes a time-to-live, wherein the metadata is removed from the index when the time-to-live expires for a corresponding downloadable object.
3. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein requested document is a web page.
4. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:
authenticating a user with the network site.
5. The machine-readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the cloud-based document is associated with the authenticated user.
6. The machine-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising:
prompting a user to download the donatable content.
7. The machine-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the donatable content is received when the user agrees to download the donatable content.
8. A method to index donatable content from a network site, the method comprising:
receiving, with a device, a requested document, wherein the requested document includes a plurality of tags;
detecting a donatable tag in the plurality of tags that indicates the network site includes donatable content, wherein the donatable content is metadata for a plurality of remotely downloadable objects accessible from the network site;
in response to the detecting, sending a request for the donatable content to the network site;
receiving the donatable content from the network site and the donatable content includes metadata for the cloud-based document associated with a cloud-based application; and
indexing, with the device, the donatable content into an on-device search index, wherein at least some of the indexed donatable content is further returned as a search result for an on-device search.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein each of the metadata includes a time-to-live, wherein the metadata is removed from the index when the time-to-live expires for a corresponding downloadable object.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein requested document is a web page.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
authenticating a user with the network site.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cloud-based document is associated with the authenticated user.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
prompting a user to download the donatable content.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the donatable content is received when the user agrees to download the donatable content.
15. A device to index donatable content from a network site, the device comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory coupled to the processor through a bus; and
a process executed from the memory by the processor that causes the processor to receive a requested document from the network site, wherein the requested document includes a plurality of tags, detect a donatable tag in the plurality of tags that indicates the network site includes donatable content, in response to the detecting, send a request for the donatable content to the network site, receive the donatable content from the network site, and index the donatable content into an on-device search index, wherein the donatable content is metadata for a plurality of remotely downloadable objects accessible from the network site and the donatable content includes metadata for a cloud-based document associated with a cloud-based application, and at least some of the indexed donatable content is further returned as a search result for an on-device search.
