Techniques to provide a hybrid federated search are described. A web server may receive a search query from a client and select an immediate search source to perform the search. A script may be generated that causes the client to re-send the search query for a delayed search source. The script may execute on the client when the client displays the results from the immediate search source. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A speech processing system uses contextual data to determine the specific domains, subdomains, and applications appropriate for taking action in response to spoken commands and other utterances. Some applications may be given priority over others such that some applications are general request applications to which responsibility for processing an intent is to be assigned as long as contextual criteria are satisfied, while other applications are specific request applications to which responsibility for processing an intent is to be assigned only if the applications are specifically requested, if the contextual criteria of priority applications are not satisfied, and/or if certain contextual criteria associated with the specific request applications are satisfied.

A speech processing system uses contextual data to determine the specific domains, subdomains, and applications appropriate for taking action in response to spoken commands and other utterances. The system can use signals and other contextual data associated with an utterance, such as location signals, content catalog data, data regarding historical usage patterns, data regarding content visually presented on a display screen of a computing device when an utterance was made, other data, or some combination thereof.

A multi-tier architecture is provided for processing user voice queries and making routing decisions for generating responses, including responses to book browsing requests and other content requests. When an utterance is associated with multiple applications in a given domain, the applications may be organized into a subdomain and a tier of routing decisions may be added to the inter-domain and intra-domain routing decision system. The system uses contextual signals to make subdomain routing decisions, including signals regarding content items that are already in a user's content catalog, consumption status of individual content items in the user's catalog, and the like

A multi-tier domain is provided for processing user voice queries and making routing decisions for generating responses, including for user voice queries that include multi-domain trigger words or phrases. When an utterance is recognized as different intents in different domains, a routing system for a domain may consider contextual signals, including those associated with other domains, to determine whether the domain is the proper one to handle the request. This determination can be performed with a statistical model specifically trained to make such determinations using the available contextual data.
