Abstract
Search results are improved, in one embodiment, through the use of subscription information about the status of a subscription to content. The subscription information can be transmitted to a cloud storage service used by a user account of a device; later, a search query from the device causes the receipt of search results from a search using the subscription information and these search results can show the status of the subscription such as whether the content is playable.
