Abstract
The present invention concerns content searches in a distributed environment such as in an IPv6 network. This is achieved by deriving a multicast address from a string associated with the content to be searched. The searching party and the server owning the content use a common function for deriving this multicast address. The content owner listens to this multicast address and the searching party sends requests for the content on that multicast address.
