ABSTRACT:
A method and implementing computer system is provided in which an internet or web network user may invoke a hyperlink or site link listing mode to retrieve only the hyperlinks available on selected target pages rather than retrieving the entire text and graphics of the target pages. The network assembles only the available hyperlinks and associated activation code segments for presentation to the user. The user may then select from the presented hyperlinks, the most appropriate hyperlink or path in pursuit of the user's particular search goals. The hyperlink access methodology enables faster navigation through selected and more direct paths to particular search goals by selectively assembling and displaying listings of only hyperlinks of designated target pages rather than entire page presentations. The user may designate and change the number of levels to be searched for hyperlinks, and displays are presented and organized so as to enable a user to quickly focus upon the sites most directly related to the user's search goals while requiring only minimal network usage time and reducing network traffic. The designated path through the chosen sites may be saved as a bookmarks for future reference and access.
