Zusammenfassung:A method of combining information from multiple heterogeneous workers comprises transmitting a first search request to a search worker to assist the search worker in searching a first database and returning a first results set. A second search request is directed to a peer worker to assist the peer worker in initiating a search of a second database across a network asynchronously from the search worker and returning a second results set. The first results set and second results set are then incorporated into a composite results set.
