Abstract
Search requests may be initiated by a wireless communication device and performed by a voice request broker (VRB). The VRB may evaluate the applicability of various criteria and may select at least one search engine to process the search request according to the applicable criteria. The VRB may transmit the search request to the at least one search engine and the at least one search engine may return a list of one or more results. The VRB may evaluate the applicability of various criteria and may re-sort the results according to applicable criteria. The VRB may transmit the re-sorted results to the wireless communication device from which the search request is initiated.
