1. A method of performing a live network search for currently available content, the method comprising the steps of:
accepting a user search query at a computer connected to the network; in response to the user search query, identifying at least one search origin comprising a network resource deemed of relevance to the user search query: retrieving and reviewing the contents of the search origin to identify the presence of one or more search avenues stemming from the search origin:
perusing identified search avenues by retrieving the currently available content at the search avenues to identify search results to be returned by the computer in response to the user search query, perusing further comprising:a. actuating an available submission field in the currently available content at the search avenue by automatically entering by the computer into the submission field an appropriate query related to the user search query,b. initiating the submission so that the search avenue generates dynamic network content responsive to the query entered into the submission field; wherein dynamically generated network content is not available to a network crawler collecting content from the search avenue, andc. acquiring relevant dynamic network content in response to the submission; and repeating the processes of retrieving, reviewing and perusing in respect of network locations stemming from identified search avenues.
