CA 2490594

A system that facilitates performance of a focused search over a collection of sites comprises a subweb that corresponds to a topic and/or user characteristic(s) that are of interest to the user. The subweb includes a plurality of domains and/or paths (e.g. sites) that are related to the topic and/or the user characteristic(s). Each of the sites within the subweb is assigned a weight that indicates relevance of the site to the desirable topic and/or user characteristic(s). A search engine employs the subweb to facilitate focusing a search over a collection of sites. The search engine receives a query, and utilizes the subweb to focus a search over the selection of sites corresponding to the topic and/or user characteristic(s) represented by the subweb. The results from the search are returned to the user based at least in part upon the relevance weights assigned to the sites within the subweb.
