 displaying one or more search results obtained based on the received search input; 
 receiving a request to preview a respective search result of the one or more search results; and 
 in response to receiving the request to preview the respective search result, displaying a preview of content of the respective search result, wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes one or more actionable user interface objects that, when activated, cause the device to perform an operation associated with the respective search result. 
   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes a plurality of different actionable user interface objects that, when activated, cause the device to perform different operations associated with the respective search result. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein receiving the request to preview the respective search result comprises receiving a selection of a preview affordance associated with the respective search result. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the search input is received at a search application and the preview of content of the respective search result is displayed in the search application. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the preview of content of the respective search result replaces the respective search result. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the preview of content of the respective search result is displayed concurrently with the respective search result. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 receiving selection of the respective search result, and in response to receiving selection of the respective search result, displaying a software application corresponding to the selected search result.   
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes first information when the search input includes a first term, and the preview of content of the respective search result includes second information when the search input includes a second term, the first term different from the second term. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes information in a first order when the search input includes a first term, and the preview of content of the respective search result includes information in a second order when the search input includes a second term, the first term different from the second term. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 receiving a second request to preview a second search result of the one or more search results; and   in response to receiving the second request to preview the second search result, replacing display of the preview of content of the respective search result with display of a preview of content of the second search result, wherein the preview of content of the second search result includes one or more actionable user interface objects that, when activated, cause the electronic device to perform an operation associated with the second search result.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein displaying one or more search results obtained based on the received search input comprises displaying a first search result, wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 detecting a swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a location of a first portion of the first search result on the display; and   in response to receiving the swipe gesture at the first portion of the first search result, completely replacing display of the first portion of the first search result with display of a second portion of the first search result.   
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 determining whether the search input meets a computation criteria; and   in accordance with a determination that the search input meets the computation criteria, displaying a computation result of the one or more search results, the computation result based on a computation performed based on at least a portion of the search input.   
     
     
         13 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more actionable user interface objects include a first actionable user interface object, and the first actionable user interface object initiates a communication with an entity associated with the respective search result when the first actionable user interface object is activated. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more actionable user interface objects include a second actionable user interface object, and the second actionable user interface object initiates playback of a media content associated with the respective search result when the second actionable user interface object is activated. 
     
     
         15 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more actionable user interface objects include a third actionable user interface object, and the third actionable user interface object initiates display of webpage content associated with the respective search result when the third actionable user interface object is activated. 
     
     
         16 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more actionable user interface objects include a fourth actionable user interface object, and the fourth actionable user interface object initiates display of map content associated with the respective search result and the map content can be scrolled. 
     
     
         17 . A method, comprising:
 at an electronic device with a display:
 receiving a search input; 
 displaying one or more search results obtained based on the received search input; 
 receiving a request to preview a respective search result of the one or more search results; and 
 in response to receiving the request to preview the respective search result, displaying a preview of content of the respective search result, wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes one or more actionable user interface objects that, when activated, cause the device to perform an operation associated with the respective search result. 
   
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:
 receive a search input;   display one or more search results obtained based on the received search input;   receive a request to preview a respective search result of the one or more search results; and   in response to receiving the request to preview the respective search result, display a preview of content of the respective search result, wherein the preview of content of the respective search result includes one or more actionable user interface objects that, when activated, cause the device to perform an operation associated with the respective search result.
