GENERATING SEARCH RESULTS CONTAINING STATE LINKS TO APPLICATIONS

摘要

A method for generating search results containing state links to applications. The method includes receiving a search query from a remote computing device, generating a state link to a state of a native application based on the search query and providing the state link to the remote computing device, all by a processing device. The state link is provided with one or more other state links to third party applications. The native application is a third party native application. The native application corresponds to a third party application having one or more versions. The state link includes an application resource identifier corresponding to the native application and is used to access the state in the native application version of the third party application.
