Abstract
A method and a system for structured searches of information via key-objects are disclosed herein. Key-objects may be used to describe certain features or parameters of content within webpages in a structured fashion, may be linked or embedded into respective webpages, and may be subsequently collected and stored by search engines enabling the structured searches. A thesaurus of key-objects may be updated with new key-objects discovered by search engines. Methods described herein may be used for structured searches of merchandise or services in e-commerce or mobile e-commerce thereby facilitating the location and comparison of merchandise by product specifications in lieu of keywords needed to get to the product specifications. In all, the elimination of voluminous and largely irrelevant outputs is realized, whereby users receive precise, streamlined, or exceedingly relevant responses at will, and can control or manipulate the order of the structured search outputs according to their specific information needs.
