Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system providing both query-specific bookmarking and query-specific data collection. These features allow users to search more efficiently on the WWW by allowing users to explicitly maintain their search context. In addition, users can also collect query-specific relevance and usage data. User marked search results are saved as leads, which are displayed on a user interface such as a SearchPad. One embodiment of the invention involves extending HTML to include a Query attribute that saves the query context and returns it with a search result page. Another embodiment involves the use of cookies to save the query context. Saved query-specific bookmarks and query-specific data can be periodically saved to a central site, although not all embodiments perform this task.
