Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing searches and displaying results within a messaging application. A computing apparatus, which may include a touch-sensitive display, displays a user interface which includes a messaging application interface and a compact search applet interface encompassing a portion of a messaging application interface. A search applet is executed within the memory allocated to the messaging application or parent application. The search applet accepts user input and displays a set of media elements based on a search query run on the user input. The search results are then displayed by the search applet interface, allowing the user to quickly review the search results and, if desired, integrate media content into a message of the messaging application.
