Abstract
Search clips are segments of information which provide a consistent user interface and a consistent set of rules for searching varying web-based search services. Search clips are searchable (i.e. they can be accessed with a keyword search) and are displayed 'in-place' on a web page. The keywords are compared to tags identifying search clips for web-based search services. A list of hypertext links related to the keyword is displayed within a frame on the same web page. The list which is displayed in place includes hypertext links to applicable search clips, predefined topic lists, and conventional web sites where the search clips are placed at the top of the list. Information is displayed in place. Search criteria entered in a search clip are translated based on a predetermined set of search rules and any requirements of the pre-existing web-based search service that will execute the search. A template is provided which allows services to quickly define search clips such that they all have uniform characteristics.
