Description

Search specialized website and search method on the internet {Search dedicated website and search method on Internet}

The present invention relates to a search specialized website and its search method for convenient and easy searching on the Internet. More particularly, the present invention provides a directory of various search engines so that search engines can be classified and searched by field. It is related to a search specialized web site and its search method that can easily find the desired search results by making a search form of their database, so that when the user selects the desired search engine is automatically placed on a separate search page. In addition, the present invention relates to a search specialized website and a search method thereof, which can obtain a search result of another search engine using the same search word in a single internet access step.

On the Internet, there are sites with tens of thousands of search functions in various fields (hereinafter referred to as a search engine for convenience). For example, on the Internet, search engines such as Yahoo (trade name) or Naver (trade name) can be used to search for credit information and articles from popular searches such as newspaper articles, music files, pictures, phone numbers, etc. There are many different types of search engines, ranging from specialized database searches.

As a result, the user can access a site where a desired search engine exists through a web browser in order to search for desired data, and select a search word and a search option according to the instructions of the search engine to perform a desired search. For example, Yahoo Korea (trade name), which is one of the widely used search engines, is used when necessary to help understanding existing search engines. In the process of using such a search engine, when a user connects to a site where a search engine exists, the user selects a search term and a search option, and the search result is displayed in the web browser in use. So, to see a search result, you usually have to connect to the site at least twice.

The only exception is if you have a search box on a second web site in your web page, you may call up the search engine immediately after entering a search term.

First, in the case of meta search engines (Metacrawler, SavvySearch, Miss Search, etc.), several search engines are searched in parallel at the same time, and the results are summarized. There are two stages (http request) to retrieve the results of a search engine through a command such as cgi or asp through the site, for example, the search results are passed through two sites, the Missed site and the Yahoo! Korea site. The disadvantage is that a search engine that searches at the same time is determined and cannot be used when other search engine results are desired.

Next, even if a search form of the same first search expression as the one search engine is located on the second site (the search scale is The Big Hub, etc.), the search engine on one page is limited as a third disadvantage. Even if you have a search engine on another page on the same site, you need another navigation to see the results. In addition, as a fourth disadvantage, in order to view the results of several search engines using the same search word, it is inconvenient to input the search word again each time. Each search engine has a separate field, making it difficult to make a page smaller.

First search expression

<form name = "search" action = "http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search">

<input name = p size = 30>

</ form>

The first search expression is a search form applied to a search engine of Yahoo! Korea (trade name), and the search forms of other search engines are slightly different from each other.

There are also sites (All in One, EZ-find, Easysearch) where you enter a search term and click on a search engine to see the results. In this case, there is an advantage of not having to re-enter a search term when searching other search engines one by one. However, as in the first disadvantage described above, two steps are required to bring the results of the search engine through a command such as cgi or asp through the site. Since the search engine on the page is determined as in the third disadvantage described above, there is a disadvantage in that the results of several search engines can not be viewed in one place. In addition, when a search engine on a different page is required, there is a disadvantage that not only another navigation is required but also a search word is input again.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above problems, to create a directory of various search engines to facilitate the search by classifying the search engine by field, as well as to separate the search forms of various search engines into one By gathering them on the search page, the aim is to provide a specialized search website that can be used to obtain search results through a single level of internet access.

Another object of the present invention is to put a search term in a search page made of a file directly including the search forms of various search engines, even if the search using one search engine to perform a search using another search engine It provides a search website that doesn't require re-entry.

Another object of the present invention can be used in a separate space from the web browser, it is possible to save the effort to go to the search page by pressing the "back / forward" button of the browser for another search after the search is made, the window size is reduced It is to provide a professional search website that can see the search results and search pages at once.

Another object of the present invention is to create a database that forms the search forms of the various search engines and to collect the contents of the database (search forms of several search engines) in one search page, so that the user can search the desired search engine ( It is to provide a search specialized website that can easily add or delete a link and a search form) to the search page.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a search method on the search website.

1 is a view showing a homepage screen of a website of a search specialized website according to the present invention.

2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating screens of the detailed search page for each category of FIG. 1, respectively.

4 is a diagram illustrating a page screen of the standard remote control searcher of the present invention.

5 is a view showing the page screen of my remote control searcher of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a search specialized website that makes it easy to search by using the Internet, by creating a directory of a variety of search engines provided without the need for membership registration links to search the search engines by field A first search page for allowing a user accessing the site to select and search a desired search engine in a desired field; And a searcher formed by storing search forms of the search engines included in the first search page in a database, and collecting a link and a search function of search engines that are mainly used by a user. to provide.

Preferably, the searcher of the present invention is a standard searcher in which users link the most used search engines; and the first search page automatically selects a desired search engine of a desired field in the second search page. And at least one of a personalized searcher that can be uploaded so that a user can easily access a frequently used search engine.

More preferably, the database includes a search engine data table in which unique numbers of search engines and a search form of the search engine are stored side by side, and user data storing a list of user IDs and unique numbers of the search engines selected by the user. Including a table, the search form corresponding to the selected search engine data when the user operates the search function is characterized in that for transmitting.

The present invention provides a search method that facilitates a search using the Internet.

<form name = "search" action = "http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search">

<input name = p size = 30>

</ form>

According to the present invention, a step of creating a directory of various search engines provided without the need for membership registration and linking search engines by field to one website for classification search; A user who accesses the website can select and search a desired search engine of a desired field classified according to the first search formula, and the user is created by storing a search formula (form) of the search engines in a database. Provides a search method comprising the steps of searching through a searcher, which actually collects the links and search functions of the search engines used mainly.

Preferably, the search step is a standard searcher that collects links and search functions of the search engines that are most commonly used, or a search engine of a desired field in the field desired by the user on the website.

<form name = yahookorea action = http: //search.yahoo.co.kr/bin/search>

<input name = p type = hidden>

</ form>

According to the user's order, the search engine links and search functions are uploaded to the customized searcher, so that users can easily access the frequently used search engines with one click. Characterized in that the step.

More preferably, the searching through the searcher may include storing a unique number of search engines and a search form of the search engine in a search engine data table of the database; Storing a list of a user's ID and a unique number of a search engine selected by the user in a user data table of the database; And reading out and transmitting the search form corresponding to the selected search engine data when the user operates the searcher.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a search specialized website (www.gosearch.co.kr) that facilitates a search using the Internet of the present invention is accessed on a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape to facilitate various searches. do. 1, a name 10 of a site provided by a web browser displayed on a PC screen and a function menu 20 of a screen on the web browser are provided. In addition, an address or a task bar may be added by clicking View V of the function menu 20 of the web browser screen.

The search specialized website (gosearch) of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is provided on a screen on a web browser so that a user can smoothly browse and search on the Internet. The search specialized website of the present invention includes a key menu area 30 and a search menu area 40. The key menu area 30 is provided with icons of "my remote control searcher" and "standard remote control searcher" which can be referred to as a custom searcher described later. In addition, there are icons for going to "home" and various recommendation and registration icons. The search menu area 40 of the present invention creates a directory of various search engines provided free of charge on the Internet so that a user can easily perform a search, and search engines by category (category) on the first search page 60 are provided. To make them searchable. The search form data of the search engines classified by directories are stored in the storage area of the server PC, and are read and transmitted whenever accessed from each user terminal. Detailed description thereof will be omitted since it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 includes health care, news, shopping, and search fields in the life 42 column, and newsgroup search, domain, multimedia file, and web search fields in the Internet 44 column. Entertainment (46) contains the fields of film, art and music, Business (48) contains the Law, Investment, and Company fields, and Computer (50) contains the Games, Soft / Hard, and References (52). ), There are book information, dictionary, and person information fields, and sports / leisure (54) shows sports field and sports by field, and education / academia (56) shows science, technology, and general field as its detailed fields. It is. Thus, a user who accesses the site can easily select and search a desired search engine in a desired field. In addition, the search website has an advertising page (70, 80) and the web master page (90) can also place an advertisement on this site. Since the arrangement of these sites is similar to most Internet websites, the detailed description of the arrangement is omitted. However, in the present invention, the search form of the various search engines contained in the first search page 60 is made into a database, so that one-click can easily go to the desired search engine or view the search results. In addition, in the present invention, a standard searcher (FIG. 4) presented on a menu as a "standard remote control searcher" in which users link the most used search engines, and the desired search of a desired field in the first search page. When you select an engine, it is automatically placed on or deleted from a second search page (Figure 5) so that users can easily access frequently used search engines. It contains a searcher.

In the process of databaseting the search form of the search engines applied to the present invention, if a character string is replaced with a search form field of the database by replacing the original search form (the first search expression described above) with a second search expression using a program. do. The database holds the name of the form (eg yahookorea) as the key value.

Second search expression (form stored in database)

<form name = yahookorea action = http: //search.yahoo.co.kr/bin/search>

<input name = p type = hidden>

</ form>

When the user adds the search engine of the first search expression to the customized searcher, yahookorea, which is the key value of the data of the second search expression, is added to the user's search engine list, and the second search expression is automatically called as the searcher file when the searcher is called. do.

An implementation detail of a major part of JavaScript that allows multiple search engines to make one Internet connection (http request) per search is shown in the following third search expression. In the example of a search form of one of the search engines posted on the search page (Yahoo Korea), if a user inputs a search term in the input form of the input form, which is a joint input form, and clicks "yahookorea", the first The search expression is executed with the same command as gosearch () below. However, when it is actually executed, the search engine to be used cannot be known in advance, so the internal name of the search engine "yahookorea" is passed to the parameter.

Third search expression

<form name = inputform>

<input name = inputvalue type = text>

</ form>

...

<a href="javascript:gosearch('yahookorea')"> Yahoo Korea </a>

...

<form name = yahookorea action = http: //search.yahoo.co.kr/bin/search>

<input name = p type = hidden>

</ form>

...

<script>

function gosearch (searchengine) {

...

document.yahookorea.p.value = document.inputform.inputvalue.value;

...

eval ('document.' + searchengine + '.submit ()');

}

</ script>

Hereinafter, a description will be given of the database of the search form of the search engine applied to the present invention. In general, to perform a search on the Internet, a user must go to a web page of a website that contains a search engine's search form and request a search. There are some web pages that collect search forms to make this convenient. However, there is a disadvantage that several search forms cannot be collected on one page. In order to overcome this problem, in the present invention, data of search forms of many search engines is stored in a database of a server operating a search specialized site (old search) of the present invention. In the present invention, the search request after the user accesses the search specialized site of the present invention is made through a search form. In the data table of the search engines of the database, a unique number of a search engine (not duplicated) and a search form of the engine are stored side by side, and a user who wants to use a customized search machine by registering in the search specialized site of the present invention must enter an ID in advance. It must be registered and stored in the database. This allows the user's data table in the database to contain a list of user IDs and unique numbers for the selected search engine. Therefore, when a user clicks on a customized searcher, the search forms corresponding to the search engine unique number in the search engine list of the user are inputted into an html file so that a search request can be made. Therefore, the custom browser has a certain number of search forms (users can expand to 20, more than 20, or less) in the present embodiment. You can call the results of a certain number of search engines.

As shown in FIG. 1, the search engines 42-56 having the search form are classified by category and linked to the entire first search page 60 by field. When the search engines classified by the linked fields are clicked, a search page as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is presented.

2 and 3, the search page is presented in the environment of the web browser as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a search page opened when the education / science 56 column is clicked among the category items of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 is a search page opened when the life 42 is clicked among the category items of FIG. 2 and 3, the right side of each of the search engines 57 has an icon 100 called "Add to Searcher", which has a function that allows the user to add to a separate second search page if desired. .

If a second search page composed of files including the search form directly, that is, a search engine of a favorite search engine is configured in the searcher as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each time after searching and accessing a search specialized website of the present invention, You can save yourself the trouble of searching, and you can just click to call and search while performing other tasks on your PC. There are two types of the searcher, "standard remote control searcher" and "my remote control searcher," among which the standard searcher is composed of the most used search engine 300. If you press any search engine after entering a search term in the search field 200, the search results appear in this window. If there is no search word, go to the search engine homepage you clicked and press the return key instead of the click to see the result of the default search engine (Naver). Here, the term "remote control" of the remote control searcher means that the searcher is performed like a web browser environment, but in fact, the screen is opened by a click and the search is performed regardless of the web browser. It is named to operate under the remote control of a web browser.

In addition, the search specialized web site of the present invention allows each user to change and use the search engine in the searcher as shown in FIG. 5. In this embodiment, the user needs to select 20 search engines 400 that are needed and place them on the "my remote control searcher". This is illustrated in FIG. 5, and it is very easy to obtain the search results of the search engines collected in the searcher by clicking "My remote control searcher" even while performing other tasks at any time. This "my remote control finder" is more convenient to use by dragging the mouse on the connection tool / personal tool in the web browser environment. For example, if a user is an Internet professional working in a movie-related profession, his hobby is music and shopping, and he is also investing in stocks, he enters each search page of the search website of the present invention and selects the desired search engine and selects " Clicking the "Add" icon link brings up the Search Editor page, and inserts / adds the search engine you have selected to the desired searcher number. You can also delete the search engine from this window. This makes "My Remote Control".

Then, by placing the searcher buttons of the "standard remote control searcher" and "my remote control searcher" on the personal tool / connection tool of the web browser, the user is more easy to use. To do this, the user drags the Finder button with the mouse (Drag & Drop) and places it on the personal tool (Netscape) or the Connect tool (Explorer) only once and clicks the Finder button of the personal tool or the link tool at any time in the web browser environment. The remote control finder can be called simply by doing the following.

As described above, the search specialty website of the present invention can, firstly, omit another step as in the first disadvantage described above because the search form is placed on the current page. Thus, in principle, only search engines on the second search page can view the search results with a " one level internet connection (http request) ". Secondly, when the results of other search engines are sequentially viewed, there is no need to re-enter the search word, thereby solving the fourth disadvantage. Third, by using it separately, you can save the trouble of pressing the "back / forward" of the browser, and the smaller window size has the advantage that you can see the search results and the second search page at once. For reference, there are other methods that do not use functions, but there are still sites that satisfy the first and second advantages, but still have a third disadvantage. Also, web browsers such as Netscape have the disadvantage of using input buttons. This does not satisfy the third advantage.

In particular, although the number of search engines in the standard remote control searcher is still limited in the present invention, although the number of times of Internet access steps is reduced by using the standard remote control searcher. To solve this problem, "My own remote searcher", which allows users to select their own search engines and upload them to the search page, has created a search engine directory so that they can classify search engines by field. The search forms of all the search engines listed are databased according to the first search formula, so that they are automatically placed on the search page according to the user's request.

In this way, although the number of search engines in the standard remote searcher is limited, users can put only their own search engines into "My own remote searcher" at any time. With a single click, the effect of being able to use it with only one internet connection step substantially solves the second and third disadvantages.

In conclusion, the present invention can load various search engines desired by each user in a single searcher, whether in a remote control window or a browser window, and the results of several search engines displayed on a page in only one internet access step (http request). It is possible to continue to obtain and in order to view the results of other search engines with the same search word, there is no need to re-enter the search word, thereby enabling the user to perform a desired search very effectively through the search specialized website of the present invention.
