Abstract
A method of processing information and producing search response is performed at a server system. A search query is received from a client system or device. An Internet database is searched to identify a set of documents accessible via the Internet that match the search query, and a first response having information identifying at least a portion of the identified set of documents is generated. In addition, a determination is made as to whether the search query meets predefined criteria associated with current time inquiries. If the search query is determined to meet the predefined criteria associated with current time inquiries, a second response specifying a current time for at least one location is generated, and the first response and second response are returned to the client system or device for simultaneous display at the client system or device.
