1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, from a mobile computing device, a parameterless search request for information determined to be relevant to a user of the mobile computing device;
responsive to receiving the parameterless search request, identifying, by the computing system, based at least in part on a context of the mobile computing device, one or more results determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device, wherein the context includes prior location information for the mobile computing device, and wherein the one or more results include traffic condition information associated with a route to a location determined based on the prior location information; and
sending, by the computing system, to the mobile computing device, the one or more results.

Abstract
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a parameterless search request, which was provided to a mobile computing device, for information that is relevant to a user of the mobile computing device. The method also includes, in response to the received parameterless search request, identifying with a digital computer system one or more results that are determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device based upon a current context of the mobile computing device. The method further includes providing the results for display to a user of the mobile computing device.

19. A computing system comprising:
-
an input subsystem that receives a parameterless search request for information determined to be relevant to a user of a mobile computing device; a result identification unit that, in response to the input subsystem receiving the parameterless search request, identifies, based at least in part on a context of the mobile computing device, one or more results that are determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device, wherein the context includes prior location information for the mobile computing device, and wherein the one or more results include traffic condition information associated with a route to a location determined based on the prior location information; and an output subsystem that provides the one or more results to the mobile computing device.

20. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for causing one or more processors of a computing system to:
-
receive from a mobile computing device, a parameterless search request for information determined to be relevant to a user of the mobile computing device; responsive to receiving the parameterless search request, identify, based at least in part on a context of the mobile computing device, one or more results determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device, wherein the context includes prior location information for the mobile computing device, and wherein the one or more results include traffic condition information associated with a route to a location determined based on the prior location information; and send, to the mobile computing device, the one or more results.
