System and method of generating a key list from multiple search domains

Abstract:

A machine-readable medium that gathers a plurality of key terms is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the machine-readable medium receives a plurality of terms and selects a plurality of key terms from the plurality of terms, wherein each of the plurality of key terms is a term that is highlighted in a running application. The machine-readable medium further associates a predictive search query for each of the plurality of key terms, wherein the predictive search query is executed when that term is found in a running application and the user selects this term in the running application. The machine-readable medium additionally sends the plurality of key terms to a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of devices matches at least one of the plurality of key terms in that device.
