Zusammenfassung:	Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an Internet search engine with e-commerce functionality ("e-commerce search engine"). In one embodiment of the present invention, users can use the e-commerce search engine to locate retail items by typing in a key-word search. The search results displayed by the e-commerce search engine are vendor-website listings for vendors that sell retail items related to search terms. Some vendor-website listings may contain quick links through which a user can shop for, and purchase, retail items from the vendor through the e-commerce search engine, without being re-directed to the vendor's website. Transaction information is later relayed from the e-commerce search engine to the vendor. The vendor can then confirm the order and the shipping information with the user and complete the transaction.
