ABSTRACT:
A system for enhancing search engine-based search results comprises an application programming interface configured to add value to selected search engine-based web search, a tag indicative of the value-added capacity that is appended to one or more links; a client that accepts a search request and enables an integrated view responsive to the request; and a web server for fetching the integrated web data upon receiving a request for selected search-engine-based web search. The enhanced search engine-based web search system further comprises a content manager that is configured to store and calculate the added value in a personal account of a web user. The added value is retrievable by the user. Search engine-based online search enhancing system and methods also are described.
