The claimed subject matter relates to architectures that can provide rich features associated with information-based collaborative searches by leveraging a multi-touch surface computing-based display. In particular, a first architecture can include a multi-touch surface configured to support interactivity with multiple collocated users simultaneously. Based upon such interaction, the first architecture can transmit to a search engine a multiuser surface identifier and a set of search terms input by collocated users that share a collaborative task. In response, the architecture can receive a set of search results from a second architecture, and present those results to the multi-touch surface in a variety of ways. The second architecture can relate to a search engine that can process the search terms to generate corresponding search results and also process information associated with the multiuser surface identifier. |
