    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that ranks a plurality of query results from a plurality of search domains is described. In this embodiment, the device receives a query from a client. In addition, the device applies the query to the plurality of search domains and a broad-base search domain. Furthermore, the device receives the plurality of query results from the plurality of search domains and a set of broad-base query results from the broad-base search domain. The device additionally ranks the plurality of query results using the set of broad-base query results and returns a ranked plurality of query results to the client.

    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to ascribe or transfer metadata from one search-related entity to another, where each entity can be one of subject or source, citation, and object or target. First, one or more complete or incomplete attributes associated with one or more of entities across source, citation and target are identified with a high degree of probable accuracy, wherein such metadata or attributes include but are not limited to, time, language, and location of the entities. The identified attributes are then ascribed or transferred from one entity where the metadata is available to other search entities. Finally, the transferred attributes can be utilized to facilitate the selection and ranking of the cited targets for the search result.

    Abstract: A machine-readable medium that gathers a plurality of key terms is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the machine-readable medium receives a plurality of terms and selects a plurality of key terms from the plurality of terms, wherein each of the plurality of key terms is a term that is highlighted in a running application. The machine-readable medium further associates a predictive search query for each of the plurality of key terms, wherein the predictive search query is executed when that term is found in a running application and the user selects this term in the running application. The machine-readable medium additionally sends the plurality of key terms to a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of devices matches at least one of the plurality of key terms in that device.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that performs a multi-domain query search is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a query prefix from a client of a user. The device further determines a plurality of search completions across the plurality of separate search domains. In addition, the device ranks the plurality of search completions based on a score calculated for each of the plurality of search completions determined by a corresponding search domain, where at least one of the plurality of search completions is used to generate a plurality of search results without an indication from the user and in response to receiving the query prefix.
