Abstract
A search system includes a storage system that stores a plurality of sets of application-specific rules. Each of the sets is associated with a respective application and defines a template for generating function identifiers that identify functions of the respective application. A search module receives a search query prepared by a remote device, identifies at least one entity type indicated by the search query, and retrieves a first set of application-specific rules corresponding to the identified entity type. The search module generates at least one unparameterized function identifier using the retrieved first set of application-specific rules and the search query and parameterizes the at least one unparameterized function identifier using the search query. Parameterizing the at least one unparameterized function identifier includes populating at least one parameter field with a parameter value. The search module generates search results based on the parameterized function identifier.
