Abstract
A search engine system, including a slash-tag server. The server can be configured to receive a query including at least one key word from a user, generate an alternative search query, based on the at least one key word in the search query received from the user. The alternative search query may include at least one slashtag associated with the at least one key word for use in searching unaltered internet documents. Also, it may launch a search query using the alternative search query. Further, a web server could be configured to retrieve content from one or more nodes of at least one database cluster, based on the launched search query, generate a first search result, based on the alternative search query, and cause display of the first search result in a web browser.
