Abstract
Systems and methods are provided and include receiving, at a touchscreen of a user device, a user input from a user of the user device, the user input selecting an application (app) icon displayed at the touchscreen. The user device receives a search query from the user. In response to receiving the user input and the search query, the user device generates search results based on the search query, each search result specifying a state of a native app associated with the app icon. The user device displays the search results to the user.
