Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for updating web page access. Initially, a hit list containing a plurality of hypertext links in response to a user's search request is generated. The user begins selecting one of the hypertext links to access a corresponding website and other links that may be available in the selected website. A history of hypertext links that the user accessed is monitored, and upon W backtracking to the page containing the hit list for further search, the hit list is updated by removing the hypertext links that are previously accessed by the user. The hit list also may be updated according to predetermined criteria.
