Abstract
Associated query parameters of queries of query answer web pages of a plurality of websites corresponding to a set of search criteria are identified and reconciled. Proxy web page specifications comprising the queries and their associated query parameters are created, and submitted for processing by a search engine to create a plurality of indices to effectively index the dynamic query answer web pages. For associated query parameters to be posted to the websites, the associated query parameters for pre-filling the forms are pre-stored at a proxy server, and the corresponding queries included in the indices, modified to address the proxy servers. During operation, on receipt of the search criteria from a client, the search engine returns a search answer web page including the indices that effectively indexes the dynamic query answer web pages. In alternate embodiment, the effective indices may be automatically selected
