Abstract
Resources are located on a network by searching a database including resource evaluation information obtained from electronic messages. Electronic messages having information evaluating network resources such as files, websites, and utilities are identified. Evaluation information including the network address of the evaluated resource is stored in the database. Resource information from the resource itself is also stored. A useful and manageable number of evaluated resource titles responsive to a user request for information are presented to the user. The user can browse evaluation information and fetch the resource.
