A system level search module receives system level search user interface registration information for an application of the computing device. The registration information includes an indication of how the system level search module can launch the application. The registration information is added to a registration store, and the application is included as one of one or more applications that can be searched using the system level search user interface.

Registration for system level search user interface

A search term suggestion engine of a computing device receives characters of user data as the characters are input. The user data is at least part of a search term to be provided to one of multiple applications to search for the search term. An indication of multiple suggestion sources is received from the one application, and one or more suggested search terms are obtained, from the multiple suggestion sources, based on the received characters. One or more suggested search terms can also be obtained from the multiple suggestion sources based on one or more linguistic alternatives for the received characters. The one or more suggested search terms are combined into a combined set of suggested search terms, and the combined set of suggested search terms is returned to a search user interface for presentation to the user.

Extensible search term suggestion engine

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for heuristically generated suggestions in static code analysis. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for heuristically suggesting an asset transition in a code analysis tool can include receiving from an end user a request to select an asset of a computer program subject to static code analysis by a code analysis tool and selecting in response and contemporaneously to the request, an asset from amongst many assets during static code analysis of a computer program in a code analysis tool. The method further can include determining a set of assets amongst the many assets historically selected by other users of the code analysis tool during static code analysis subsequent to a selection of the contemporaneously selected asset. Finally, the method can include displaying to the end user a suggestion of a next asset for selection that had been frequently selected by the other users of the code analysis tool during static code analysis of the assets of the computer program subsequent to a selection of the contemporaneously selected asset.
