Techniques for searching using target applications

This invention describes a system on a user's device that automatically creates search requests. Instead of the user typing a query, the system generates a search request based on what the user is doing, like visiting a page or making a gesture. It then sends this request to other applications stored on the device, gathers results from them, ranks these results, and displays them. If the user selects a result, the system uses special data to open that specific application to the exact state or content associated with the search result.

Why it matters: Filed just as on-device AI models were becoming capable. The claims focus on automatically generating search requests from user context, which is now more robustly handled by smaller, efficient local models.
