Abstract
This specification discloses a unique Web search engine to help people find information on the Web more easily and efficiently, and a page-sized query algorithm which is applicable to Web search engines and other systems using large-scale databases. The Web search engine utilizes a simple hierarchical structure under the category Web, multiple ranks of records, diversified views of search results, display of unlimited records that are matched with keywords in the database, and opening any page of search results randomly. The page-sized query is different from the conventional queries in which the records are displayed on pages by skipping from the beginning of the record set (except page 1). In the page-sized queries, the records are directly displayed from the beginning of the record set on all pages, and the query size is restricted to a proper number that is equal to or a little larger than the record number for one page.
