COMMUNICATING BOOKMARKED WEBPAGE REQUESTS TO SEARCH ENGINES

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for informing search engines of requests for web pages bookmarked in association with a browser, and permitting such requests to be logged by the search engines as search queries. When a browser receives a request from a user for a bookmarked Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), it is determined whether the user has a search engine preference set as a default. If the user does have a default search engine, the user's request for the bookmarked URI is communicated to the default search engine, permitting the search engine to log the user's request as a search query. In parallel, the requested URI is rendered in association with the user's computing device.
