  • extracting, via a processor, key data from a user query;

    submitting the key data to a search engine to perform a search and to retrieve a set of top n pages from a database, wherein in response to a restriction to access a restricted page of the set of top n pages, the processor without user interference negotiates a fee to overcome the restriction independent of a user navigation to the restricted page;

    providing, at a first time, a response to the user query;

    after providing the response at the first time, continuing, without further user input, to search for information associated with the user query using a machine learning process to expand the search; and

    presenting an option to a device associated with a user, at a second time which is later than the first time, to view the related information separate from the response.
