  • Publication number: 20110173543
    Abstract: Systems and methods to assist buyers in selecting compatible components of a product are described. The system identifies a product associated with a plurality of component classes. Next, the system identifies a list of items by searching for items based on the component classes. The system then receives a selection of a first item. After a selection of the first item has been received, the system generates a list of compatible items by removing items from the identified list of items that are incompatible with the first item. Finally, the system presents the buyer with a user interface communicating the list of compatible items.

  • Patent number: 6256622
    Abstract: A single file, such as an HTML document, is logically divided into multiple articles that can be individually recognized and ranked by search engines. The segmentation of a document into separate articles is based upon tokens that are used in document mark-up languages. In addition to the tokens which delineate articles from one another, additional tokens, or tags, are used to create a named location for each article, so that a browser can immediately display an article within a document that is relevant to a search query.
