First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a client computing device, a search request comprising at least one identifier and at least one identifier prefix;
determining the at least one identifier prefix;
generating a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the at least one identifier prefix by inserting the identifier into a template corresponding to the at least one identifier prefix, the URL configured to redirect a specific request corresponding to the at least one identifier prefix to at least one computing device configured to effect the specific request, wherein the specific request comprises, at least in part, performing at least one identifier management function on a target identified by the at least one identifier;
wherein the at least one identifier management function comprises at least one of an edit command, a handle command, a list command, a status command, a history command, a watch command, a renew command, a transfer command, an escrow command, a consolidate command, an auction command, a bid command, a value command, a buy command, a sell command, a generate command, a whois command, an expire command, a registrar command, a tools command, a redirect command, a lock command, an email command, a webhost command, an incorporation command, a trademark command, a geo command, or a dial command; and

Abstract
A client computing device receives a search request including an identifier and an identifier prefix. The computing device determines the identifier prefix and generates a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to the identifier prefix by inserting the identifier into a template such that the URL is configured to facilitate a specific request depending on the determined identifier prefix. Alternatively, a client computing device receives a search request and retrieves a search result comprising a uniform resource identifier (URI) having a domain name. The client computing device generates a hyperlink corresponding to the search result, the hyperlink effecting access of additional information related to a resource indicated by the URI having the domain name. The computing device generates enhanced search results by combining the search result and the hyperlink. The additional information could be sitemap information, homepage information, WHOIS information, page source information, meta tag information, or other additional information.
