System and method for enhancing search experience of a user of a communication device

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention may enable a communication device to search for multiple results from a database by using a single search query. The communication device may include a display screen, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may include a database and an instruction set. The database may store contact information of one or more entities. Further, the instruction set may include instructions executable by the processor to scan a query received from a user to recognize special characters and wild cards in the query. Further, the instructions may divide the query into multiple sub-queries based on the use of the special characters in the query. Furthermore, the instructions may execute and display results of the sub-queries in a user friendly manner.
