  • a computer executing a browser configured to display an object including a dummy button, the dummy button being defined by an associated character string and a uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the URL specifies a search engine for performing a search, rather than a document, to transmit, to a search engine specified by the URL set for the dummy button, the character string of the dummy button to initiate a search at the search engine in response only to the dummy button being selected by a user on a screen, prior to performing a search using the character string of the dummy button, and to display information transmitted from the search engine on the screen,wherein the computer is configured to generate the dummy button automatically without human intervention by determining the associated character string, setting the URL for the dummy button, and storing the dummy button to a file prior to displaying the object.
