  • Method of providing duplicate original file copies of a searched topic from multiple file types derived from the web
    Patent number: 6938083
    Abstract: Many document files in different formats can be downloaded from websites which can be selected for their specific content using search items as a Verity Search Engine and Web Server. After downloading into a user-workstation, a topic search would not be ordinarily feasible to search files of different formats. The present system and method enables topic searching by converting the different file formats into a common format such as PDF which then can easily be topic-searched by a browser such as an Adobe Acrobat program.

  • Method for searching multiple file types on a CD ROM
    Patent number: 6654758
    Abstract: While multiple different document files on a CD-ROM can occur in several different file formats, there is no efficient way to topic-search these differently formatted files since search engines can only operate on one particular type of formatted file. The present method operates to convert the multiple file formats into one common file format (Portable Document Format) which then can be suitably searched by a browser program, such as Adobe Acrobat.
