First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system that performs an index search and a crawl search on a distributed network comprising:
- a crawl search circuit that performs a crawl search in real-time for at least one keyword within a context; and
an index search circuit that performs an index search of at least one index for the at least one keyword, the index search of at least one index for the at least one keyword being performed in parallel with the crawl search in real-time for at least one keyword within the context.

Abstract
The systems and methods described herein allow a user to perform localized searching from a standard web browser. In particular, the systems and methods of this invention use a two-prong approach to accomplish both a dynamic breadth-first crawl search and a contextualize index search to generate search results. The search results are then assembled in a unified results page and displayed to a user.

22. An information storage medium that performs an index search and a crawl search on a distributed network comprising:
-
information that performs a crawl search in real-time for at least one keyword within a context; and
information that performs an index search of at least one index for the at least one keyword, the index search of at least one index for the at least one keyword being performed in parallel with the crawl search in real-time for at least one keyword within the context. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
