Unsupervised crawling of the hidden Web utilizes a query engine, coupled to a crawler system, that automatically and intelligently inserts keywords into text input controls in Web page forms so that the filled form can be submitted to a server to retrieve dynamically generated Web content for indexing. The keywords used to fill form controls are based on the content of corresponding Web pages, which is automatically discovered to generate a set of keywords for filling the controls. The set of keywords can be expanded to include related keywords from other Web pages and Web sites and, therefore, to provide more effective coverage for crawling the Web content. The expanded set of keywords can be continuously expanded by recursively performing similarity analyses based on results from crawling the same and other Web sites.
