Abstract:
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for searching across multiple user interfaces are provided. For example, a search query may be received from a user of a computing environment. A set of user interfaces, hosted by the computing environment, may be identified (e.g., mobile apps of a mobile operating system, browser tabs of a web browser, etc.). Content within the set of user interfaces may be queried using the search query to identify search results of the search query (e.g., webpages, social network posts, emails, or other content matching the search query). In an example, cached content of the user interfaces (e.g., recently accessed emails cached within a local content buffer cache by the web browser) may be searched using the search query for efficient querying of relevant content, such as through local or offline querying. The search results may be provided to the user.
