METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING OF SEARCH ENGINE FIT THE CASE USER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to information retrieval technology in a wired / wireless communication system. In particular, a search engine is generated based on a user's interests and subjects and a site specified by a user on a user device connected to the Internet of a wired / wireless communication network. A method and system for generating a customized search engine suitable for providing a search quality.

The Internet, commonly referred to as the World Wide Web, is now used by people all over the world, and users with access to the Internet can get information on almost any topic from a massive source of information.

In order to find the desired information, users generally apply various search engines to the task of information retrieval. Search engines allow users to find web pages that contain information or other material on the Internet that includes certain words or phrases. For example, if you want to search for information about Jaguar cars, simply type "jaguar cars" into the search engine's search box and click the search button. The search engine will then display a list of web pages containing information about Jaguar cars. Will return.

However, if a more generalized search was performed, such as just entering the term "jaguar", much more, such as companies and utilities that use the term "jaguar", including information about Jaguar cars as well as cats and beasts, Jaguar The result will be returned.

There are several search engines on the web. For example, there are domestic search engines such as Naver and Empas, and overseas search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Such examples are only a few. Most of these search engines provide at least two modes for information retrieval, such as using the site's own catalog organized by topic for users to browse and performing keyword searches entered through a user interface portal in a browser. . In general, a keyword search will find all websites with any information related to any keyword and phrase specified, up to the power of the search engine.

The search engine site will have a box for the user to enter a keyword and a search button to press to start the search. Many search engines have tips on how to use keywords to search efficiently. Tips are usually provided to help the user define search terms more precisely so that information retrieval processes do not return irrelevant information to what the user is looking for.

Thus, manual qualification of terms saves users and search engine servers a lot of time by reducing searches on thousands of sites that are not needed when looking for specific information.

In the prior art search engine system operating as described above, in order to generate a search result in a short time, all the search for the entered search terms are performed, and even if a tip for limiting the search is entered, it is not limited thereto. In addition, within the limited search results, there is a high possibility of missing information desired by the user.
