Abstract

A method and system for searching for Web services with a search engine is described. Information pertaining to Web services is gathered from a publisher or through the use of a publication tools manager. Service definition files are constructed based on the gathered information, and are stored in a searchable service definition file. Service consumers then search for Web services stored in the service definition file via a search engine. Optionally, evaluation information related to the Web services is obtained and also stored in a searchable service definition file.
