Abstract
A search of displayed content may be automatically performed in response to receipt of a search gesture that defines a scope of the search and initiates the search. The search gesture may define a region of content within the displayed content. A search query may be formulated based on the region of content defined by the search gesture. In response to completion of the search gesture, a search may be automatically initiated. In some examples, the search gesture comprises a generally circular gesture that substantially bounds the region of content.
