Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for executing a search query on a mobile communication facility to search local and network mobile content and other information for presentation to the mobile communication facility. Local mobile content may be synchronized with network content as needed when a network connection is available. The local content and/or a local file may occasionally upload to a network storage facility for backup or other purposes. Local searching may facilitate executing search queries when network communication is not reliable or disabled. Uploading information from the mobile communication facility 102 to a network storage facility may facilitate sharing of the information by making it available on the network.
