Abstract

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods automatically perform an implicit message search without requiring or actually receiving a user search query. The disclosed search framework automatically identifies of a set of messages in a mailbox that are related to a specific message m, and this message set is presented to the user from within the mailbox. The message set is retrieved without a user formulating and entering a search query, or without having to switch the state of the mailbox. The retrieved messages are provided as a type of “thread” functionality that provides a “thread” for those messages having related subject matter to message m.
