Abstract

See full text

A computer program product is provided as a session search system and associated method that provide a novel type of query referred to as 'session query'. In the context of a session query, a user issues a search query using, for example, a web-based form. This query is processed immediately by the search engine, yielding search result elements that are returned within the new context of a 'dynamic search result set'. As long as the user is reviewing the 'dynamic search result set' of the session query, the search result is updated automatically in almost real-time, when new information arrives. When the user is no longer interested in continuing the search, the session query is terminated. The session search system generally includes two modules: A client module that presents the 'dynamic search result set' to the user, and a server module that manages the current set of active session queries. The client module implements an executable code in the user's web browser.
