Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide for intelligent print options to a user selecting web content of search results provided by a search engine. For example, the user may choose to perform a search through a search engine by entering search criteria within a webpage of the search engine. The search engine may return the search results to the user's web browser via the search engine's webpage. Along with these results, print options may be provided to the user on the webpage. By selecting to automatically print one or more of the search results, the content of the selected result(s) may be converted to a printable format such that page numbers may be counted and returned to the user. Based on the number of pages, the user may make a more informed decision as to whether the user should print the content.
