If you know the name of a film star or a sports person then it is easy to find information about them. But suppose you don't know the name of the person you are trying to find. Suppose all that you know is that he is a singer who is homosexual and was knighted. My invention is a web search engine and you can submit a query to it such as: Occupation=“Singer”, Sex=“Male”, Sexuality=“Homosexual” and Honors=“Knighted”. In my invention I maintain a database of people, entities, things, places i.e. any proper noun. Each proper noun has a list of attributes such as Sex, Occupation, Education and hundreds of other attributes. This database is fed by many sources such as parsing web pages obtained by a web crawler, a human being entering the data manually, loading names from a telephone book, reading from the social security database etc. The database can be searched by the public and maintained by contributions or advertising revenue. The web search page can also serve as a gateway to other web search engines, i.e. the user can click on the search results and this will cause a new tab to be created wherein a query constructed by this invention is submitted to another web search engine. So for example, if the occupation in the search is listed as actor, a query to display the movies he/she acted in could be generated.
