Abstract

An object of this invention is to filter the results of a website search or a published list on a website, by applying mathematical or logical criteria selected by the user or program, to any of the informational details of an element in the search result or list. An object of this invention is to expand the set of details associated with each element of the search result or published list by gathering user specified information associated with each element from the same or different websites. An object of this invention is to allow the user to identify details of interest of an element in the search result or published list and to limit the presentation of the results to the details of interest. An object of this invention is to accomplish this functionality in a generic manner independent of a specific or set of websites.

Claims

1. A method enabling a user of an Internet browser to improve relevancy of search results or lists of information by collecting information from user-defined webpages and filtering the information based on user relevant content and said method being implemented entirely within the Internet browser and independently of any specific webpage, the method comprising:

tracking interactions performed by the user wherein tracking interactions includes designating a first webpage as primary page and another webpage as a secondary page, recording the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the primary and secondary pages, and recording the type, style and content of one or more elements associated with the interactions, wherein the interactions include;

copying, pasting, typing, selecting or clicking the one or more elements on the primary page;

copying, pasting, typing, selecting or clicking the one or more elements on secondary page; and

setting one or more relevant content on the primary or the secondary page, wherein the relevant content is an area of interest or a filter;

recording the type, style and content of the one or more elements relevant to the interaction;

saving a recipe wherein the recipe includes the interactions performed on the primary and the secondary pages;

displaying a repeat recipe interface option that when executed automatically repeats the recipe on one or more primary pages and one or more secondary pages;

and displaying an access results interface option that when executed accesses results of the automatically repeated one or more recipes, wherein the results include one or more indicators which indicate whether the one or more elements on the primary page perfectly met, partially met and did not meet the user relevant contents.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprises:

setting the filter, wherein the filter includes;

a mathematical condition, logical conditions or Boolean condition.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

the tracking interactions including recording real-world data type of the one or more elements associated with the interactions; and

the repeat recipe interface option identifying the real-world data type of the one and one or more elements on the one or more primary or secondary pages, and repeating the recipe based on the association of the real-world data types of the one or more elements associated with the interaction and the one or more elements of the primary or the secondary pages.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the repeat recipe interface option further comprises:

identifying the one or more elements on which the recipe is performed; and

identifying whether a new version of the primary page and determining whether the identified one or more elements correspond to the one or more elements on the new version of the primary page.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprises:

setting the filter; and

wherein the repeat recipe interface option further comprises scheduling an execution time to automatically repeat the recipe.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

the user setting the filter;

and the repeat recipe interface option further comprises;

selecting textual content on the one or more primary pages or the one or more secondary pages.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

opening a third web page which matches the primary page;

opening a fourth web page which matches the one or more secondary page

and displaying for the repeat recipe interface option including automatically identifying the third web page as the primary page and the fourth web page as the secondary page.
