ABSTRACT:
Performing a search for both local electronic content and remote electronic content based on a single query includes receiving a single query that includes at least one search term. The received search term typically is compared with indexed electronic content that is stored on a local device to derive a first result and with electronic content that is stored on a remote device to derive a second result. The comparison generally occurs automatically in response to the single query. The first result and the second result typically are combined into an amalgamated result that then is displayed.
