1. A computer-implemented method for invoking a non-search action, the method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a search query comprising a first portion and a second portion including a reserved term, wherein the first portion is separate from the second portion; transmitting the search query by the computing device and to a search engine system that makes a determination that the search query includes the reserved term, wherein the reserved term is a term reserved by the search engine system that the search engine system is arranged to use to identify a user intent to perform a non-search messaging action; receiving, by the computing device and from the search engine system in response to the determination that the search query includes the reserved term, a draft message that includes the search query with the reserved term removed from the search query; displaying, by the computing device, the draft message; receiving, by the computing device, user input that indicates an intent by a first user to transmit the draft message to multiple users of a social network that have requested to receive social network posts that are authored by the first user; and transmitting, by the computing device and to a social networking system in response to receiving the user input to transmit the draft message, the draft message so as to cause the social networking system to transmit the draft message to the multiple users.
