Abstract
Techniques include displaying, at a user device, a user-selectable link associated with a search result that specifies a state of a software application (app). The state is associated with one or more entities (e.g., business, franchise, product, or service names, and/or geographic locations). The link is configured to, upon being selected, cause the device to set the software app into the state. The techniques further include receiving, at the device, an input from a user. The input specifies a mathematical operation to be performed based on the entities. The techniques include, in response to receiving the input, performing the operation. The techniques also include, in response to performing the operation, displaying another user-selectable link configured to, upon being selected, cause the device to set the same or a different software app into another state that is associated with at least one of the entities.
