An informational system for disseminating technology information between requestors and purveyors as well as a method for using the system for this purpose. The informational system generally includes requestor and purveyor servers as well as a host system having a data structure, a search engine communicating with the data structure, and an application server communicating with the data structure and search engine. The data structure includes a plurality of data arrays for storing, among other information, a plurality of data entries each with technology and purveyor data as well as requestor data including requestor registered external informational sources. The application server is configured to receive a search request having a technology parametric from a requestor, to cause the search engine to conduct a search in one of the data arrays, and communicate a search report to the requestor. The application server optionally includes a number of search modules for identifying suitable available technology as well as accessing external informational sources for further exploring the suitability of technology for the requestor's application or industry.
