Patent number: 9128992Abstract: Website search results obtained from searching multiple electronic information stores may be displayed transparently without distinguishing the electronic information store. The search may be performed by a web host and may include receiving at least one search term that then is compared with first electronic information within a first electronic information store to determine whether matches exist, where the first electronic information includes content provided by an internal source. The search term also is compared with second electronic information within a second electronic information store to determine whether matches exist, where the second electronic information includes content provided by an external source. Results are displayed based on matches that are determined to exist with the first electronic information and the second electronic information. The results are combined in a single list of results.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Surendra Goel, David E. Kellum, Thomas E. Donaldson

Patent number: 7225180Abstract: Searching different data stores based on a classification of a search term may include receiving at least one search term and classifying the search term among at least first and second categories. When the search term is classified within the first category, the search term is compared to first electronic information within a first electronic information store to determine whether matches exist. When the search term is classified within the second category, the search term is compared to at least second electronic information within at least a second electronic information store that differs from the first electronic information store to determine whether matches exist. A result is displayed based on the matches that are determined to exist.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2000Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: AOL LLCInventors: Thomas E. Donaldson, David E.
