The present invention provides a search system for providing fulltext
search over web pages of world wide web servers which can save memory by
storing only text, path and hyperlink data of a web page and excluding
extraneous data. The system comprises a server connected to an internet, a
plurality of data groups with web page data, and a management program. One
user can input search parameter such as keywords into the search system
over which the management program uses the search parameters to find
matching web pages using an index file within the data groups, generates
path data for the matched web pages and outputs the path and text data in
a standard http format. The search system retrieve only text and path data
of each web page and leaves out extraneous data so that the memory space
of the server can be saved.
