ABSTRACT:
A thorough search of a distributed document database, such as the Internet, is conducted according to a search request including search parameters and a search starting point. Initially, documents found at the search starting point are added to a processing list. A determination is made whether a next document in the processing list is a plain text document or a compressed document. If the next document is a compressed document, it is decompressed to produce a plain text version of the next document. Next, the plain text version of the next document is searched according to the search parameters and for references to other documents. The documents referenced by the next document are appended to the processing list. This process is repeated until inspection of the processing list is declared to be concluded. A list of processed documents which meet the search criteria are returned to a user.
