Method and computer program for collaborative web searching
First Claim
1. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for collaboratively searching one or more distributed computer systems using a web-based user-interface on a computer system, wherein at least a portion of the search processing is remotely performed on the one or more distributed computer systems, the computer program comprising:
- a first computer code for presenting a web-based user interface to a user, wherein the user interface includes one or more search parameters;
a second computer code for receiving one or more of the search parameters from the user interface;
a third computer code for generating a search request containing the received one or more search parameters;
a fourth computer code for transmitting the search request to at least one other computer system;
a fifth computer code for receiving a search response from the at least one other computer system containing one or more search results; and
a sixth computer code for displaying the search results on the user interface.
