Method and system for searching for applications respective of a connectivity mode of a user device
First Claim
1. A method for searching for applications respective of a connectivity mode of a user device, comprising:
- detecting a set of applications of a plurality of applications installed in the user device that can operate in an offline mode;
receiving a search query entered by a user of the user device;
determining a current connectivity mode of the user device, wherein the current connectivity mode is any one of an offline mode and an online mode;
searching for at least one matching application from the set of applications, when the current connectivity mode of the user device is the offline mode;
wherein the at least one matching application is an application from the set of applications that best matches at least one user intent based on the search query; and
displaying the at least one selected application on a display of the user device.
