| 20150026146 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A SET OF ACTIONS TO ONE OR MORE OBJECTS AND INTERACTING WITH THE RESULTS - An Internet search computer system is provided that includes a computer network service environment that includes a search input utility that initiates the presentation on a display linked to a client device of a search interface; the search input utility allowing one or more users to select one or more search objects, and optionally collecting search input from the one or more users. The search engine utility is configured to iteratively process the search objects and/or search input so as to identify a plurality of suggested actions that are responsive to the search objects and/or search input, for further selection by the one or more users. The computer network service environment initiates the automatic processing of the search objects and search input, and iteratively updates suggested actions with the results of such processing. The computer network service environment analyzes the search objects and search input and matches the results of such analysis to applications and related application functions so as to generate the results. | 01-22-2015 |
