AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing computing devices face inefficiencies in searching content due to the need for exact match queries, which can lead to slow search functionality and lack of comprehensiveness.

Method used

A computing device processes user search queries to determine alternative query terms, identifies matching application modules and associated content through queryless searches based on these terms, and outputs relevant applications or content to the user.

Benefits of technology

This approach enables faster access to information, reduces data usage, enhances privacy and security, and provides comprehensive search results while minimizing computational resources.

Abstract

A computing device obtains a query and determines a one or more alternative query terms based on the query. The computing device identifies application modules that match the alternative query terms. The computing device identifies content by at least performing a queryless query, where the queryless query is based on the one or more alternative query terms. The computing device outputs at least one of a query preview that includes an indication of at least one application module from the one or more application modules, or at least one query result that include an indication of the content.
