A search engine system according to one embodiment includes a slashtag server having a hardware processor and memory storing instructions configured to cause the slashtag server to receive a search query regarding a search of an internet, detect at least one key word in the search query, search the internet based on the at least one key word, analyze results of the search query to determine relevant filter criteria in the results of the search query, generate an alternative search query based on the relevant filter criteria, and send the web server the alternative search query, where the alternative search query includes a search operator wrapped in a predetermined syntax and inserted by the slashtag server, and where a last entered key word of the at least one key word in the search query is removed such that it is not included in the alternative search query.
