A method of enabling multiple and different remote Internet resident databases to be queried by using search fields in a generic form in a browser by entering field information only once. The multiple searchable remote databases use specific search fields that are maintained in a master meta database of databases. The database includes translations from a uniform field name to an actual name used by a corresponding remote database. The translations are utilized by local browser software to populate a specific HTML search form peculiar to a given remote database. Each specific search form is then associated with unique indicia, a picture or company logo also found in the database. The indicia are then arranged on screen such that multiple database queries from the generic form can be initiated by clicking on the corresponding indicia. Results returned from a query are then displayed on screen in a target window. Another query can be made by clicking on different indicia, without reentering information into the generic search form. A macro generator creates the necessary JavaScript and HTML INPUTS to build each specific search form contemporaneously with clicking on one of the unique indicia.
