Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for implementing aggregation of search results, comprising: using a processor at a client system to implement a virtual layer on a host web page, wherein the host web page includes a first set of search results from performing a search using one or more search terms at a primary search site associated with the host web page, and wherein the virtual layer is not implemented natively by a server associated with the host web page; sending the one or more search terms used to perform the search at the primary search site to one or more secondary search sites; generating additional search results, in which the additional search results are from performing one or more searches at the one or more secondary search sites using the one or more search terms used to perform the search at the primary search site; and displaying the host web page at the client system, wherein the additional search results are superimposed onto the host web page using the virtual layer implemented at the client system, and in which the additional search results are presented in a format that mimics native presentation characteristics of the one or more secondary search sites.
