Search engine

摘要

A search engine to index web content with user content. A server computer receives, from a first client computer operated by a first user, an identification of first web content displayed by a web browser of the first client computer in a main browser window. The identification of the first web content is transmitted by the first user to the server computer via a user interface separate from the main browser window. The server computer then indexes the first web content. In response to receiving a search query from a web browser of a second client computer operated by a second user, the server computer transmits search results to the web browser of the second client computer. The search results include the first web content identified by the first user in a position relative to identifications of other web content received from other users.
