1. A method for implementing range operations in a consolidated enterprise support system having a plurality of target applications, wherein at least one of the plurality of target applications does not natively support range operations, the method comprising: receiving a search query from a user at a search server located on a computing device, the search query comprising at least one of a desired action and a desired abject; determining, using the computing device, whether the search query comprises a range operation requesting a range of elements comprising an initial range element and a next range element; canceling, using the computing device, an active range operation when the active range operation exists; identifying, using the computing device, range elements from the search query; receiving, using the computing device, user input designating which of the plurality of target applications to launch for the at least one of a desired action and a desired object; determining, using the computing device, whether to perform assisted range programming for the designated target application based on whether the designated target application natively supports range programming; interpreting, using the computing device, the search query for the designated target application when the designated target application natively supports range operations; launching, using the computing device, the designated target application sequentially in context of each of the range elements when the designated target application does not natively support range operations; and receiving, by a search client, results of the search query from the designated target application.
