The system and method comprises enhancement of results for a search
engine, wherein the results from the search engine are refined or
reorganized, based upon information from an identified secondary source.
The results obtained using a conventional search are compared against the
identified secondary source, e.g. a ratings service, and are filtered
and/or sorted appropriately. In some embodiments, identification of the
secondary source, such as a ratings service comprising information which
may supplement the subject of a search query, is based upon information
entered by the user. In alternate embodiments, the secondary source is
associated with a user, as part of general user-specified search
parameters, wherein one or more parameters are consulted automatically
for searches for appropriate subject matter.
