Abstract
System and method for collecting information from a plurality of related sites, analyzing the information and storing the relevant information in a data base for future use. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the system uses the provided list of sites, whether obtained automatically or separately, queries them and analyzes the result retrieved from each site. The information may also optionally and preferably be ranked.
