The invention discloses a hierarchical structure applied to a distributed search engine. The hierarchical structure comprises a physical layer, an abstract layer, an application layer and a presentation layer. The invention also discloses a distributed search engine system, which comprises a Web server, an agent node, a query agent pool, an abstract adapter and a plurality of working nodes, wherein the query agent pool consists of a plurality of query nodes. The invention also discloses an implement method for the distributed search engine system, which comprises the following steps of: S1, registration of a query node; S2, registration of working nodes; S3, state update of the nodes; and S4, distribution and retrieval of a query request. The hierarchical structure has the advantages of good performance, high reliability, diversification, specialization, strong applicability and the like.
