Abstract

A method of providing a remotely hosted search agent capability for a web site is described. The remotely hosted search agent can operate interoperate with a remotely hosted search capability, or with other search engines. Thus, a subscriber can sign up her/his web site for search agent capabilities in connection with a particular remotely hosted search agent, or other search engine. The remotely hosted search agent capability inserts a save search command into search results. This command may take the form of an HTML form to allow a visitor viewing the search results to submit a request to save her/his search. Once saved, the searches, or search agents as they are called, can be automatically executed. Reports can then be generated to visitors with new search results that match their search agents after the agents are automatically executed. In some instances, composite electronic mail messages are sent to visitors where the electronic mail includes new results from multiple search agents for that visitor. In some instances, advertisements are inserted into the messages based on the saved search associated with the search agents reporting results in the message. A search agent administration interface may be provided to allow visitors to modify and control the operation of search agents.
