8. A method being performed by one or more computing devices including at least one processor, the method for reconciling query results associated with multiple indices, the method comprising: at a computing device, receiving a search query comprising a word having a first spelling; comparing the first spelling to a first index that is specific to the computing device and, based on the comparison, generating a first alternate spelling suggestion; determining a first query result based on the first alternate spelling suggestion and on the first index; receiving a second query result from a comparison of the received search query with a second index, the second index being specific to web-based content; assigning confidence values to each of the first query result and the second query result, the confidence values indicating a likelihood that an associated query result is reflective of an intent of the search query, wherein the confidence values are assigned based on a search pattern associated with a user of the computing device; selecting one of the first query result or the second query result as most responsive to the received search query; and providing for display a descriptor for the selected query result that is most responsive to the received search query and an indication of which index was utilized in determining the selected query result.
