Abstract

See full text

Given a destination(s) and search criteria, the destination(s) is searched to identify files that satisfy the search criteria. For each such file, a file identifier (such a uniform resource locator (URL)) is added to a reference page. One or more of the individual files can then be accessed by selecting the corresponding file identifier from the reference page. Additionally, a list of file identifiers (e.g., such as a reference page) is used to automatically access the corresponding files. During the automatic accessing process, the list of file identifiers is parsed and the corresponding files accessed one by one. A variety of different actions can be taken in accessing a file, such as displaying the contents of the file to the user and/or saving the contents of the file to a local storage device for subsequent usage.
