Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for charitable computing on a host system are provided. The method includes receiving a search request at the host system and performing a local search on a data storage device, where the data storage device is locally accessible to the host system. The method further includes determining whether the local search locates at least one local search result, making a charitable donation in response to locating the at least one local search result, and outputting the at least one local search result. The method may also include forwarding the search request to a domain name.
