Abstract
A method and system for collecting the contents of a computer network. There is a single Data Store, one or more Address Dispatchers, and Data Fetchers. A Fetcher requests a network site address from a Dispatcher, collects information from that site, and sends it to the Data Store. A Central Dispatcher retrieves usable addresses from the information stored in the Data Store. Deployed Dispatchers receive addresses from the internal database of a Network Hosting Service Provider (NHSP). A Global Fetcher resides anywhere on the network. A Deployed Fetcher resides on a dedicated resource within an NHSP. A Community Fetcher resides on a private personal computer that has relatively continuous access to the network, collecting only textual information, thereby producing relatively little network traffic. As a consequence, the Community Fetcher can run in the background, leading to the use of multitudes of volunteers, each running a Community Fetcher.
