Abstract
The embodiments satisfy the need for a real-time search engine that significantly reduces the cost of constructing a search engine index by providing a method for creating a real-time search engine over the Internet that provides a search response containing data object descriptions and server descriptions of data objects that are currently available for transfer from a provider server directly to a recipient client in response to a recipient client search request. An exemplary method of updating a search-engine index of a search engine serving a plurality of servers is provided. The method comprising the steps of: a. establishing a communication link between the search engine and a first server, b. logging onto the search engine from the first server. The step of logging onto the search engine comprises the steps of: i. uploading a first video data object description of a first video data object from the first server to the search-engine index, ii. uploading a first server description from the first server to a server-description table within the search-engine index, and iii. relating the first server description to the first video data object description within the search-engine …
