Description

Web server integrated multi-search system and method {Total Multisearch System and Method in Website}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an integrated multiple search engine of a web server, and more particularly, to a multiple search system capable of extracting search results through multiple search engines with a single query input.

In the conventional general web browser (Internet Explorer and Netscape), there is an inconvenience of having to input a search query every time by selecting a desired site one by one. In addition, when a separate application for multi-search was produced, the search results could not be output to the general-purpose browser, and there was an inconvenience of having to download and install a program complicatedly to utilize the application of the general-purpose browser.

The so-called "metasearch", which enables comprehensive search on the web server, processes each search engine in its own database and outputs the results to the client's web browser. However, this is limited by the processing capacity of the database. The sorting and processing steps in their database also limit the processing speed.

An object of the present invention is to use an ActiveX or Plug-in technology that functions to naturally implement general application software on the Internet, and to create an object that can be implemented as an application in a general-purpose web browser. By inserting and its function, the query inputted by the client is converted according to the query processing expression of each search engine, delivered to each search engine, and outputted without the separate processing for the search results by the number of search engines. It is.

In addition, multi-frame method using extended HTML (HyperText Markup Language) such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), script language (Java, ASP, VB), etc. The two are the same in terms of method.

The present invention for achieving the above object is applied to a method (XML method) consisting of a multi-level frame using XML / SGML, script (JAVA, ASP, VB, etc.) and the active X form, plug-in method (Active X method) Possible web server integrated multiple search system, comprising: a multiple search result page generator for securely transmitting information to a client web browser; A search multi-frame and active-X generator that categorizes and stores search material and acts as an interface to realize multiple search and shows multiple frames or active X-Forms within the client browser; A search region selection event generator for updating a search region structure therein and generating a search region selection event with the updated data when the client selects the search region; A search site selection event generator for generating a page and frame to be displayed on the selected screen or a dedicated web browser when the client selects a detailed search site; A search execution event generator that connects and forwards the query and the query delivered to each site and displays a browser on the screen when the client requests the query to be executed by the updated query; It includes an HTML generator that displays each site to the client in multiple frames or active Xforms, allowing you to view search results.

The following embodiment is described only in the Active X method.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an integrated multi-search system of a web server according to the present invention, wherein a client web browser 10 and a search for a request requested by a client are displayed. It is comprised of a web server 20 provided by a web browser and a search engine 30 included in the web server 20 and actually executing a search requested by a client.

A client who wants to output multiple search results on the World Wide Web (WWW) connects to the operator web server 20 through the web browser 10, and when the client inputs a query he wants to find, these are The search results are delivered to each search engine 30, and the search results of each search engine 30 are simultaneously output to the client web browser 10.

In the processing flow of the integrated multi-search system of the web server to which the present invention is applied, as shown in FIG. 2, a client who wants to output multiple search results on the World Wide Web through the web browser 10 (S21). When accessing the web server 20 of the operator (S22) and the client inputs a query to be searched for by the client (S23), a query processing expression for each search engine is generated by an object produced by an Active X or a plug-in (S24). ).

The following is an example of generating a query processing expression for each search engine by an object produced by Active X or a plug-in.

-For AltaVista

('http://altavista.com/cgi-bin/quary?'+'pg=q&what=web&KL=en&隙=euckr&q='+Query+'&kl=en&where=w');

-For Yahoo

('http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p='+query);

-For Lycos

('http://www.lycos.com/srch/?lpv=l&loc=search&quary='+query);

Objects created with ActiveX or plug-ins are programmed as modules to handle the processing equations (shown in detail in FIG. 3 below).

The generated query processing expression is transmitted to each search engine (S25), and each search engine searches its own database for each search engine and transmits it to the client (S26).

In the search execution process associated with the Active X, as shown in FIG. 3, an Active X server page is first created (S31). This Active X server page is used to transfer information from the server to the client's browser, and has the ability to securely communicate general data and queries required by the Active X. A server page with this function is created, and then a search active X is generated (S32). Search Active X acts as an Active X interface that enables multiple searches. When data is passed, it calls the module to classify and store the data and simultaneously displays the Active X form in the browser. Then, a search region selection event is generated (S33). When a client using Active Xform selects a search area by itself, a search area selection event is generated by updating the internal search area structure. After the search region selection event is generated, a search site selection event is generated (S34). When the client selects a detailed search site, it creates a page to display the selected screen and creates and assigns a dedicated web browser. After the search site selection event is generated, a search execution event is generated (S35). When the client requests to execute the query with the updated query, the search word and the query delivered to each site are connected and delivered, and the browser is displayed on the screen. Then, HTML is generated (S36), and the generated HTML shows each site to the client by using Active XForms to check the search result and connects a toolbar to control each assigned browser.

As the above steps, MP3 search sites, movie search sites, game search sites, public archives, articles, book search sites, product search sites, image search sites, Internet broadcast search sites, auction sites, etc. As many as seven sites can be searched at the same time.

Figure 4 shows an example of multiple simultaneous searches of multiple sites using the present search system. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that five web servers of AltaVista, Yahoo, Lycos, Naver, and Simmani are collectively searched in multiple.

In the present invention, a client connects to an operator web server, and a query processing expression is generated directly by an object produced by an Active X or a plug-in in a web browser, not the operator's web server, and these are transmitted to respective search engines, Since search results for each search engine are sent to clients, no separate database management system is required on the operator web server.

As described above, the operating method of the integrated multi-search system of the web server according to the present invention may be sufficiently changed, converted, replaced, and replaced in consideration of the above-mentioned, and is not limited to the above.

As described above, in the present invention, multiple search results may be output simultaneously when a client inputs a query word only once on a web browser instead of a separate application. Therefore, the search results are displayed in a fast and integrated manner, thus providing a convenience for the client to use the search engine.
