SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO SEARCH REQUESTS IN A COMPUTER NETWORK

In one embodiment, a message server computer receives client data from a plurality of client computers. The client data may include consumer search, navigation, and/or behavioral information indicative of consumer preferred links for particular keywords. For example, the client data may include recordings of consumer actions across several, different search engines. Upon receipt of a search request for a keyword, a search engine may pass the keyword to the message server computer. The message server computer may generate a set of links determined to be relevant to the keyword based on client data received from the client computers. The search engine may include the set of links in a search result, and provide the search result to the consumer who made the search request. The search result advantageously includes links that are known to be preferred by other consumers performing searches on the Internet.
