Abstract

A method and system for generating search results, comprising submitting a first search query for searching a first level database that yields high level aggregated classifications, and obtaining high level aggregated classifications based upon the first search query. The submission of a second search query based upon the high legal aggregated classifications of the first search query, and obtaining focused results based upon the second search query.

Claims

1. A method of generating search results, the method comprises:

submitting a first search query for searching a first level database that yields high level aggregated classifications;

obtaining high level aggregated classifications based upon the first search query;

submitting a second search query based upon the high legal aggregated classifications of the first search query; and

obtaining focused results based upon the second search query.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing database of stored search terms and pages.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising submitting a third search query based upon the focused results based upon the second search query.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising submitting an expiration date for removing results from a search.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising submitting a detailed description for inclusion with the results from the search.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising submitting a rank based upon experiences encountered during the search.

7. A method of generating search results, the method comprises:

providing a server and at least one user terminal that is coupled to the server, a first user and a plurality of second users;

submitting a first search query by the first user for searching a first level database that yields high level aggregated classifications related to inputs from the plurality of second users;

obtaining high level aggregated classifications based upon the first search query;

ranking the aggregated classifications obtained for the first user;

submitting a second search query by the based upon the high legal aggregated classifications of the first search query;

obtaining focused results based upon the second search query.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first user is a buyer and wherein the plurality of second users are sellers.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising providing a database of stored terms and pages.

10. The method of claim 7, further comprising submitting a third search query based upon the focused results of the second search query.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising submitting an expiration date for removing results from a search.

12. The method of claim 7, further comprising displaying content relevant to the results obtained based upon the second search query.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the content is searchable, thus allowing the first user to search terms contained within the content.

14. A system for generating search results, comprising:

a local interface;

a data store;

a processor coupled to the local interface and the data store, wherein the processor is configured to receive the submission of a first query for searching a first level database that yields high level aggregated classifications related to inputs, obtain high level aggregated classifications based upon the first search query, rank the aggregated classifications obtained, submit a second search query based upon the high level aggregated classifications, and present a search result based upon the description submitted by the seller and the search query submitted by the buyer.

15. The system of claim 14, further comprising memory that may be accessed by the processor.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the processor is configured to allow the selection of a particular search result by the buyer based upon the search results presented.

17. A system of claim 14, wherein the processor is configured for creating a matching algorithm that matches a particular good or service for sale by the seller to a good or service desired by a buyer based upon the description submitted by the seller and the search query submitted by the buyer.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the processor is configured to receive a photograph of the good offered for sale by the seller.

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the processor is configured to provide notification to the buyer or the seller that the other party wishes to communicate.

20. A content to content method, comprising:

providing a server and at least one user terminal that is coupled to the server over a network;

providing content from the server to the at least one user terminal;

flagging one or more words in the content to be used as terms for a content to content search, wherein the flagging utilizes Extensible Markup Language;

performing the content to content search by looking up related content based on the one or more words; and

providing the related content to the at least one user terminal.
