1. A computer-implemented method for automatic telephone calling, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a computing system, a query from a computing device that is remote from the computing system;

    determining, by the computing system, whether the query is for causing the remote computing device to call a telephone number automatically;

    providing, by the computing system, the query to a particular search engine system;

    receiving, by the computing system and from the particular search engine system, one or more search results that are responsive to the received query; and

    providing, by the computing system and to the remote computing device, a particular telephone number that corresponds to a most-prominently ranked of the one or more search results from the particular search engine system, so as to cause the remote computing device to call the particular telephone number automatically without the remote computing device having received user input subsequent to the remote computing device transmitting the query to the computing system.
