A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes a computing system receiving a first voice input from a user for generating a bookmark. Responsive to receiving the voice input, the computing system obtains a resource identifier associated with a resource page. The method includes the computing system storing the resource identifier as a bookmark in a bookmark index that is accessible in response to a request from a user device. The method further includes the computing system using the resource identifier, stored as the bookmark, to access the resource page. The computing system uses the resource identifier to access the resource page based on the request from the user device. The request is generated by the user device in response to the user device receiving a second voice input from the user.

Contextual deep bookmarking

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and programs for providing location-based information. A geographical location of a mobile computing device is received at a server system. A request for content is received at the server system and from the mobile computing device. A search area that corresponds to the geographical location is selected by the sever system. The search area is selected from among a collection of search areas that correspond to the geographical location. At least one of the search areas in the collection is geographically nested within at least one other of the search areas. A search result that is most-relevantly ranked for the selected search area is determined by the server system. Content that represents the determined search result is provided by the server system and for receipt by the mobile computing device.

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for invoking a non-search action based on a search query. A server system receives a search query from a remote computing device. The server system determines whether the search query includes reserved text that indicates an intent by a user that provided the search query to the remote computing device to perform a non-search messaging action instead of or in addition to obtaining search results. The server system provides to the computing device, in response to determining that the search query includes the reserved text, code for causing the remote computing device to display a draft communication that includes at least the search query without the reserved text, and for allowing the user to edit the draft communication before transmitting the draft communication for receipt by recipient users.
