A method includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method further includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application.

Searching and accessing application functionality

A method of performing a search includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header, an expansion element associated with the header, and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application. The expansion element has an expanded state and a collapsed state.
