Abstract
A mobile device includes a memory to store an unregistered application and corresponding unregistered application data which is unable to be searched, and a registered application and corresponding registered application data that is able to be searched. The mobile device also has a processor to convert the unregistered application and the unregistered application data to a newly registered application and newly registered application data which is able to be searched, and search the registered application data and the newly registered application data for a search term to determine whether the registered application and the newly registered application have search results associated therewith. The processor also displays applications having search results associated therewith on an application selection screen on a display, with a subset of information about the search results being displayed, and receives selection of an application via an input device. The processor also executes the selected application to present the search results on the display.
