Abstract
Search results may be graphically displayed on a client device as thumbnail images. A search for one or more files in the form of a search term may be received from a client device. The search may be executed based on the search term by searching one or more databases corresponding to applications associated with the client device. One or more files may be identified that satisfy the search term. Metadata associated with the identified files may be processed to generate a thumbnail image of the file based at least in part on the metadata for each of the one or more identified files. The thumbnail images of at least a subset of the identified files may be provided to and displayed on the client device. The associated files may be accessed by the client device.
