Unified Browser Sub-Window for Multi-Engine Search Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiency in searching the internet due to differences in search strategies and information processing among various search engines, requiring multiple searches across engines to compare results, which is inconvenient and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A browser with a first sub-window for loading search category and engine lists, allowing users to select and initiate searches within the same window, with search results displayed in a second sub-window, enabling direct comparison and improving search efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users perform searches in different search engines using the same search keyword to thoroughly understand search results, then the completeness of search information is improved, but the time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple search engine results into a single unified interface. The system integrates search results from different engines (e.g., Baidu, Google, Bing) and displays them together in one window, allowing users to compare results without switching between multiple browsers or tabs, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining information completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal search interface that can handle multiple search engines and categories simultaneously. The system provides a unified search bar and result display that works across different engines, enabling users to perform comprehensive searches with a single operation rather than manually searching each engine separately
2Loss of information
If users perform searches in different search engines to compare results, then the accuracy of search understanding is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple search engine interfaces into a single unified window. Users can select different search engines from a dropdown menu and view results from multiple engines simultaneously in one interface, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications and greatly improving ease of operation while maintaining the ability to accurately compare results
3Loss of information
If users manually switch between different search engines to perform searches, then the comprehensiveness of search results is improved, but the productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring multiple search engines and categories in the background. When a user initiates a search, the system automatically queries multiple engines simultaneously based on pre-set parameters, rather than requiring users to manually switch between engines. This preliminary preparation significantly improves search productivity while maintaining result comprehensiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges parallel search operations into a single user action. Multiple searches across different engines are executed simultaneously in the background and results are aggregated, transforming what would be sequential manual operations into a single parallelized operation, thereby dramatically improving search efficiency

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a webpage searching method and a browser, wherein the method comprises: loading search category list information and search engine list information to a first sub-window of a browser webpage window; according to a search category selected from the search category list information and a search key word input at the browser side, initiating a search request to a search engine selected from the search engine list information according to the search category; and loading to a second sub-window of the browser webpage window a corresponding search result returned from the selected search engine on the basis of a search request. The present invention provides a sub-window for loading a search category list and a search engine list in a browser webpage window, a user can select in the current browser window a search category and a search engine to conduct a new search, thus significantly improving search efficiency, facilitating the user in checking and comparing a plurality of search results, and improving user experience.
