A device implementing a system for determining an answer to a question includes a processor configured to receive a question from a client device, and send the question to a first information domain comprising plural search subdomains, each of the plural search subdomains being configured to provide a respective candidate answer to the question in a format that differs from those provided by the other search subdomains of the plural search subdomains. The processor is further configured to receive, in response to sending the question, the candidate answer from each of the plural search subdomains, and provide at least one of the candidate answers to the client device, for providing an answer to the question based on the at least one of the candidate answers.

Accessing multiple domains across multiple devices for candidate responses

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and user interfaces for managing visual content at a computer system. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing visual indicators for visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for inserting visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for identifying visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for translating visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for translating visual content in media are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing user interface objects for visual content in media are described.

User interfaces for managing visual content in media

The subject technology provides for contextual text lookup for images. When a request is received by an electronic device to perform a lookup or search for text in an image that is displayed at the electronic device, the electronic device may obtain one or more search results, based on the text itself and based on contextual information derived, by the electronic device, from the image. In one or more implementations, application information associated with an application that displays the image may also be used as contextual metadata for enhancing the results of the search for the text from the image.

Contextual text lookup for images

The subject technology provides visual search systems and methods that can be used to efficiently perform visual searches on an electronic device. The subject technology provides systems and methods for presenting one or more visual indicators corresponding to the searchable portions of digital content. A visual search may include identifying, at an electronic device, an element of interest in an image. A visual indicator for the element of interest may be overlaid on the image at a location corresponding to the element of interest. The visual indicator may be selectable to cause a display of information associated with the element of interest responsive to the selection.
