Abstract
Parameterized actions are provided with search results to allow users to enter parameter values and perform the actions directly from the search results. By analyzing websites in a category, a parameterized action available at the websites and common parameters may be identified. When an end user performs a search that returns a web page result from a website having the parameterized action, an indication of the parameterized and common parameters may be provided as part of the search result. Additionally, user interface elements may allow the end user to enter parameter values to perform the parameterized action directly from the search result. In some instances, user context may be employed to pre-populate parameter values in the search result.
