Abstract
A mechanism for creating links and services on the Internet to reduce the bottlenecks at service providers by associating code with links to make them intelligent and a special protocol between the links and the back end servers to maintain scalableness and performance. Scalableness is supported by moving much of the functionality of searching onto the client side.
