Abstract
A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for maintaining persistent links to information stored on a network. Information elements are tagged and their original network location is saved as a hyperlink. The tagged information elements are then acquired at the original network location by a search engine crawler, indexed by a search engine, and stored in an information location index. The tagged information elements are periodically submitted to the search engine to generate search results. Comparison operations are performed to determine the search results comprising the closest-matching information elements and their current network location. The network location stored in the hyperlink is replaced with the current network location if it is not the same.
