Abstract
A computerized method is disclosed. The method comprises detecting a change in a first webpage, constructing a search query based on the changed detected in the first webpage, determining a second webpage is associated with the first webpage, and synchronizing at least a portion of the second webpage with the first webpage based on the search query. The method may comprise updating a display of the first webpage based on the detected change. In certain embodiments of the method, detecting the change includes detecting input indicating one or more search parameters and the search query may be a text string including one or more alphanumeric characters. Additionally, the search query may comprise a pipelined command language. The synchronization of webpages displayed in separate tabs or windows of a web browser may use a browser extension to maintain state, as well as track and coordinate changes between the tabs or windows.
