1. A method for performing a search of data items, the method comprising:
using one or more processors to execute instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
monitoring a usage of individual applications in a group of applications provided in a designated computing environment to determine a set of one or more applications that are to be prioritized for search operations, wherein an individual application in the set corresponds to one of (i) a most extensively used application in the group, (ii) a most commonly used application in the group, or (iii) a most recently used application in the group;receiving one or more search criteria from a user of the computing environment;performing one or more search operations on a collection of data items to identify a set of data items that satisfy the one or more search criteria, wherein each data item in the collection is usable by a corresponding one or more of applications in the group; andwherein performing the one or more search operations includes displaying a search result comprising one or more entries, wherein each of the one or more entries corresponds to at least one of the data items in the set of data items;wherein the one or more search operations are performed by prioritizing the set of data items from the collection of data items, the set of data items being of one or more types that correspond to the set of one or more applications that are to be prioritized for search operations.
