Abstract

The present invention describes a system and method of displaying search engine results and comprises a method of Internet browser add-ons or a web-based program where the multi-page of the Internet search engine data is displayed partially on one window screen in multi-columns format, each column represents one search engine page of data. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, useful as a system and methods with novel aspect to develop the Internet browser view more user friendly to the users and includes further a Download module to user computer and an Install/Remove module of the add-on software module.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser, the method comprising:

downloading a software module to a user'"'"'s computer for execution,

running a browser on a user'"'"'s computer;

opening a browser window;

running the software module as a web-based site;

accessing a search engine;

initiating a search on the search engine via the browser;

returning search engine results;

creating a plurality of columns of pages corresponding to the search engine'"'"'s results,

creating column boundaries dividing the search engine results;

orienting the search results side by side for multiple search engines;

displaying the search results as the original search result page in each frame of the intended application page; and

displaying search engine result wherein multi-pages of the search engine results are displayed partially on one window screen in multi-columns format using the created columns.

2. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

rewriting relative links in the search result page to full URL; and

selecting any link loads in the page associated with that link.

3. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

representing in each column, one search engine page of data, and

downloading the search engine data from a server that is located or found on the Internet.

4. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

displaying the multi-listing of any search engine'"'"'s pages on one browser window.

5. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 wherein the program module is an add-on to the browser.

6. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

selecting a plurality of columns to be displayed when searching a search engine.

7. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

selecting one, two, three, four, or five columns to be displayed when searching a search engine.

8. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 wherein each column represents one search engine page of data.

9. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

downloading the software module from a server on the Internet.

10. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 wherein each column is defined as having a top border, a bottom border, a left border, and a right border.

11. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 10 further comprising the step of:

using a computer mouse to drag the edge of each column border to the left or right of the window screen to increase or decreases the width of the columns.

12. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 10 further comprising the step of:

condensing or expanding the columns by clicking and dragging on the side border, left or right, to read more of the text of a specific column.

13. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

enabling the viewing of up to five pages of any search engine at the same time using one browser window.

14. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 13 further comprising the step of:

searching five pages of search results at the same time of any one search engine.

15. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 13 further comprising the step of:

searching a single page of search results from one search engine at the same time for three search engines.

16. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

searching and viewing multiple search engines at the same time using only one browser window.

17. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

searching multiple keywords words of any search engine at the same time using one browser window only to display and compare the results.

18. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

displaying next and previous buttons the will show the next pages of the search result,

providing a top horizontal scroll bar for each column, and

double clicking on any search engine link opens that link in a new window.

19. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

showing each search result as a live proxy.

20. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

integrating an advertising module with the search results; and

including a server side search result page parsing and recreating an in memory stub page for display in an application page.

21. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 18 further comprising the step of:

adding an icon for each column;

associated a link or page with the icon; and

selecting or clicking the icon opens a new page associated with the icon page in a new browser window.

22. The computer-implemented method of multi-page display and interaction of any search engine data on a browser of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

providing a horizontal scroll bar for each column;

displaying the horizontal scroll bar horizontally within the column between the column boundaries dividing the search engine results; and

orienting the horizontal scroll bar at the top position in each frame of the column.
