Performing a search to identify web sites that relate to a search term
based on text within the web sites includes receiving at least one search
term that then is compared with electronic information within at least
one electronic information store to determine whether matches exist. The
electronic information within the at least one information store may
include text and/or full text displayed by different web pages from
different web sites. Results based on the matches that are determined to
exist are displayed. The results include at least one website identifier.
The search may be performed by a web host having members and may further
include automatically scanning and storing the text of a website when the
website is accessed by a member of the web host. The stored text may be
compared against received search terms.
