1. A method for controlling an exchange in a data transmission system, comprising:

  • receiving information demand data transmitted from information demanders to the exchange;

    receiving information supply data transmitted from information suppliers to the exchange, and representing information supplyable by the respective information supplier;

    comparing the information demand data and the information supply data to ascertain corresponding information demand data and information supply data;

    transmitting search result data to a terminal belonging to an information demander if the information demand data from the information demander correspond to the information supply data from an information supplier, wherein, upon discovery of a pair including information demand data from an information demander and information supply data from an information supplier having at least a prescribed minimum measure of correspondence at least in particular parts, the information demand data in question are first transmitted to a data comparison device associated with the information supplier in question for the purpose of a more detailed comparison with the information represented by the information supply data, and only upon receipt of positive comparison result data from the data comparison device, indicating that the supplyable information matches the information demand data, does the exchange transmit corresponding search result data to the terminal belonging to the information demander.
