Integrated exchange of search results in an integrated software development environment
First Claim
1. A method for sharing computer-generated search results, the method comprising the steps of:
- in an integrated development environment (IDE) being executed by at least one processor of a first computer, creating a message and designating delivery of the message to an end user in association with a second computer and inserting into the message at least a portion of search results of a search of one or more files accessible via the IDE, the portion of the search results including a user-selectable file name of a file of the one or more files, the user-selectable file name being configured upon selection to open a version of the file associated with the file name and to display content of the file on the second computer;
the first computer inserting metadata into the message, the metadata including an identifier of the version of the file;
the first computer displaying the message in a graphical window such that the at least a portion of the search results is visible in the graphical window and the metadata is invisible in the graphical window; and
the first computer sending the message to the second computer.

Abstract
In a method for sharing computer-generated search results, in an integrated development environment (IDE), a first computer inserts, into a message, a portion of search results of a search of one or more files accessible via the IDE. The portion of the search results includes a user-selectable file name. The first computer inserts metadata into the message. The metadata includes an identifier of a version of the file. The first computer displays the message in a graphical window such that the search results are visible in the graphical window and the metadata is invisible in the graphical window. The first computer sends the message to a second computer.
