ABSTRACT

A search engine system is provided for a portal site on the
internet. The search engine system employs a regular search
engine to make one-shot or demand searches for intormation
entities which provide at least threshold matches to user
queries. The search engine system also employs a
collaborative/conten t-based filter to make continuing
searches for information entities whjcb match existing wire
queries and are ranked and stored over time in useraccessible, system wires corresponding to the respect ive
queries. A user feedback system provides collaborative
feedback data for integration with content profile data in the
operation of the collabora tive/content-based filter. A query
processor determines whether a demand search or a wire
search is made fo r an input query.
