摘要

A Meta search engine server (4) acts as an interface between a user host computer (2) and multiple primary search engine (6) servers. Instead of sending a separate search query to all servers for the primary search engines (PSE), the user host computer directs its inquiry only once at the Meta search engine server that adapts the inquiry to the special requirements of the PSEs and transmits the special search queries to the individual servers of the PSEs. Independent claims are also included for (1) a computer system with a Meta search engine with an interface to a primary search engine (2) a computer program product with program code for running the method of the present invention.
