Hi Adam,

Thanks for your ideas. My comments are in line below.

Let me check my understanding. The two paragraphs above contain two components. 
The first component is linking a TV program to broader range of supplementary 
documents such as digital books and textbooks to enable users to enjoy them 
after watching the TV program. The second component is user's searching the 
supplementary documents while or after watching the TV program to dig deeper 
into the topic with the help of online or offline document search.

Is this correct? If so, perhaps we need consider extending existing use cases.

Could you please give us some specific examples of these types of search queries?

Right. I think educational TV programs will fit here as an illustrative context 
for this use case. Would you like to provide a draft use case?


Thanks,
Yosuke
