7. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a search query including one or more search terms from a computing device; identifying one or more entities from a plurality of entities based on the one or more search terms included in the search query, the entity having one or more entity types associated therewith; identifying a set of third-party applications based on the one or more search terms included in the search query, wherein each third-party application in the set of third-party applications is identified based on matches between one or more of the search terms and information conveyed in an application record corresponding to the third-party application; for each third-party application in the set of third party applications: determining a number of entities supported by the third-party application based on the respective entity types of the identified entities and a list of supported entity types in the application record of the third-party application; determining an entity match value of the third-party application with respect to the search query based on the number of entities supported by the third-party application; and determining a result score of the third-party application based in part on the entity match value of the third party application; ranking the identified set of third-party applications based at least in part on the results scores thereof; generating search results based on the ranked set of third-party applications; and providing the search results to the computing device.
7. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a search query including one or more search terms from a computing device; identifying one or more entities from a plurality of entities based on the one or more search terms included in the search query, the entity having one or more entity types associated therewith; identifying a set of third-party applications based on the one or more search terms included in the search query, wherein each third-party application in the set of third-party applications is identified based on matches between one or more of the search terms and information conveyed in an application record corresponding to the third-party application; for each third-party application in the set of third party applications: determining a number of entities supported by the third-party application based on the respective entity types of the identified entities and a list of supported entity types in the application record of the third-party application; determining an entity match value of the third-party application with respect to the search query based on the number of entities supported by the third-party application; and determining a result score of the third-party application based in part on the entity match value of the third party application; ranking the identified set of third-party applications based at least in part on the results scores thereof; generating search results based on the ranked set of third-party applications; and providing the search results to the computing device. 8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the ranked set of third-party applications includes at least one other third-party application determined not to support at least one of the identified one or more entities.
