Abstract

A user device stores a local application including initial search records and an initial search function. Each initial search record includes an application link that opens an application page and search data that describes the application page. The initial search function is configured to select from the initial search records. The user device executes the local application to request and receive search update data from a remote system. The search update data includes updated search records and an updated search function. The user device updates the initial search records and the initial search function with the updated search records and the updated search function. The user device receives a search query from a requesting application, selects a set of updated search records based on the search query and the updated search function, and provides a response to the requesting application including application links from the set of updated search records.
