Individuals often perform search queries with the intent of performing a particular action based on the search results.

Selected entities are ranked indicating their relevance to a topic of the document. Actions associated with the selected entities are identified. Based on an intent of a search query that returned the document in search results, relevant actions are selected and links are presented within the search results to applications that perform the actions.
