Abstract
There are provided methods and systems to retrieve search result information and digital content. The system receives input information identifying a plurality of data sources from which to retrieve digital content. Next the system retrieves search result information, over the network, from the plurality of data sources based on the input information. Next the system retrieves the digital content, over the network, from at least one of the data sources based on the search result information. Finally, the system communicates digital content to a client machine.
Claims32
A method comprising:
- receiving input information identifying a plurality of data sources from which to retrieve digital content;
- retrieving search result information, over a network, from the plurality of data sources based on the input information;
- retrieving the digital content, over the network, from at least one of the data sources based on the search result information;
- and
- communicating the digital content to a client machine.
A system comprising:
- a configuration module to receive input information to identify a plurality of data sources from which to retrieve digital content and to retrieve search result information, over a network, from the plurality of data sources based on the input information;
- and
- a processing module to retrieve the digital content, over the network, from at least one of the data sources based on the search result information and to communicate the digital content to a client machine.
A system comprising:
- a first means for receiving input information identifying a plurality of data sources from which to retrieve digital content and to retrieve search result information, over the network, from the plurality of data sources based on the input information;
- and
- a second means for retrieving the digital content, over the network, from at least one of the data sources based on the search result information and to communicate the digital content to a client machine.
A machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive input information identifying a plurality of data sources from which to retrieve digital content;
- retrieve search result information, over a network, from the plurality of data sources based on the input information;
- retrieve the digital content, over the network, from at least one of the data sources based on the search result information;
- and
- communicate the digital content to a client machine.
