ABSTRACT:
A “Build-Your-Own-Search-Engine” system allows a user to define his own search algorithm(s) and deploy his own customized search engine using said custom algorithm. The system includes a ranking method whereby relevancy scores are assigned to ranked items according to user-submitted URLs, terms, and weights, thereby allowing a whole user community to maintain and further customize the search engine to reflect their own interests, opinions, and tastes. Revenue-sharing and other steps are also disclosed. Licensing information may be obtained through http://www.inventerprise.com.
