Abstract
A method for executing searches using a multi-function search button is disclosed. In some implementations the method includes receiving a search query in a search box via a user interface and receiving a first selection of the search button via the user interface. The method includes generating a first query wrapper containing the search query and first search indicia indicating a first search function, and transmitting the first query wrapper to a search system. The method further includes receiving and displaying first search results. The method further includes receiving a second selection of the search button and generating a second query wrapper in response to the second selection. The second query wrapper contains the search query and second search indicia indicating a second search function. The method includes transmitting the second query wrapper to the search system, receiving second search results, and displaying the second search results.
