USER DIRECTED REFINEMENT OF SEARCH RESULTS WHILE PRESERVING THE SCOPE OF THE INITIAL SEARCH

摘要

A Web document can be accessed that contains search results determined by a search engine. The Web document can then be altered to contain software code for a refinement menu that contains refinement commands for the search results. The altered Web document can then be presented within a Web-based search interface. A user-selection can be received from the Web-based search interface. If the user-selection is from the refinement menu, then the refinement command can be executed upon the search results.
