Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for dynamic information connection search engine. User actions may be detected on at least one client system. Determination may be made whether the user is searching for supported information. When the user is searching for supported information, information may be extracted electronically from, e.g., third party websites, direct supplier connections, and/or intermediate databases. Suppliers may be automatically selected in response to the user search. Queries may be formulated from the user search and transferred to one or more selected suppliers over a network coupling (e.g., the Internet and/or intranet). Queries may include one or more requests for information. One or more responses may be received from suppliers, and responses may be used to generate results for the user. Results may include information and/or query status information. An electronic link may be provided to a website of one or more suppliers from which information was derived.
