A method and apparatus are provided for a dynamic information connection
engine. User actions may be detected on at least one client system. In
response, a determination may be made whether the user is searching for
supported information. When the user is searching for supported
information, information may be extracted electronically from, for
example, third party websites, direct supplier connections, and/or
intermediate databases. Potential suppliers may be automatically selected
in response to the detected user search. Queries may be formulated from
the user search and transferred to one or more selected suppliers.
Responses may be received from the suppliers, and used to generate a
result list for the user. The result list may include information and/or
query status information. Further, an electronic link may be provided to
a website of one or more of the suppliers from which the information was
derived.
