<p>This invention includes the step of transmitting a query to a set of search engines (100, 102 and 104). Any result lists (110, 112 and 114) returned from these search engines is received, and a subset (120, 122 and 124) of entries in each result list is selected. Each entry in this subset is assigned a scoring value according to a scoring function, and each result list is then assigned a representative value (130, 132 and 134) according to the scoring values assigned to its entries. A merged list of entries (140) is produced based upon the representative value assigned to each result list.</p> |
