Abstract
A search engine searches a database containing a plurality of data entries wherein one or more of the data entries comprise a link to one or more others of the data entries. The search engine receives an input search parameter from a user and compares the input search parameter with the plurality of data entries. In response to the comparison, the search engine identifies from the plurality of data entries a set of data entries matching the input search parameter and divides the set of matched data entries into sub-sets. Each sub-set comprises data entries having links to each other. The search engine determines, for each data entry of each sub-set, a weighting in dependence on the number of links contained in each data entry to others of the data entries of the corresponding subset.
