Abstract

A method includes selecting function records by a computing device. Each function record includes an application access mechanism, application state information, and a concept name. The method also includes aggregating the application state information included in the selected function records and generating a new function record that includes new application state information comprising the aggregated application state information. The method also includes generating a new application access mechanism for the new function record that is different than the application access mechanisms included in the selected function records, receiving a search query from a user device, and identifying the new function record using the search query. The method also includes selecting the new application access mechanism from the new function record and transmitting the new application access mechanism to the user device.
