Abstract

A method for indexing and managing a searchable community of non-HTML information. The method utilizes an electronic search engine which indexes data files used by sites created by website generation software. The indexing process of the search engine indexes HTML and non-HTML information from websites enrolled in an electronic community. The non-HTML data includes a database from which enrolled websites operate. This information is downloaded over HTTP, parsed, and indexed with unique parameters into a database running on the search engine. The search portion of the search engine process operates like standard search engines. A user submits a request over HTTP to the search engine. The search engine processes the search request and presents the results to the user in a dynamically created HTML page. The only unique feature of this portion of the process is that the links to the search results are constructed with the necessary parameters to allow the target websites to be hyperlinked, with the appropriate dynamic content being shown.
