Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a touch-enabled display accessible to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive first input to the touch-enabled display at an area of the touch-enabled display which presents at least partially thereat an icon associated with a first application. The instructions are also executable to, in response to receipt of the first input, initiate the first application and execute a search at least in part based on the first input using the first application.
