SEARCHING DOCUMENTATION ACROSS INTERCONNECTED NODES IN A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of retrieving documentation from a network including a plurality of computing nodes, the method comprising:
- processing a query for documentation at one or more of the computing nodes within the network in accordance with a priority of each of the computing nodes to obtain search results pertaining to the documentation, wherein the priority for each computing node is based on a quantity of incoming connections for each computing node; and
arranging the search results in accordance with the priority of the corresponding one or more computing nodes providing the search results.

Abstract
Documentation from a network including a plurality of computing nodes is achieved by processing a query for documentation at one or more of the computing nodes within the network in accordance with a priority of each of the computing nodes to obtain search results pertaining to the documentation, where the priority for each computing node is based on a quantity of incoming connections for each computing node. The search results are prioritized in accordance with the priority of the corresponding one or more computing nodes providing the search results.
