Abstract: A computer processor is programmed to provide a search engine service to one or more members. The search engine service may be programmed to assist each member in accessing the Internet. The search engine service may cause a navigation buddy to be displayed on a computer monitor screen. The navigation buddy is typically a displayed character. The search engine service may cause output information to be displayed on the computer monitor screen along with the navigation buddy so that it appears that the output information is being provided by the navigation buddy. The search engine service may be programmed to receive input information from a main user. The output information is based at least in part on the input information provided by the main user.
