Abstract:
A system and method for creating an e-commerce, dynamic, internal search engine are disclosed. The system and method include providing a server having a memory and a processor, and providing the server with a search engine configured to perform the steps of: identifying a first user search term that results in a first search result and the number of occurrences the first search term is input into the search engine. The search engine then identifies a second user search term input into the search engine subsequent to the first user search term and the number of occurrences the second search term is input into the search engine and identifies the number of occurrences when the second search term yields a successful search result. The search engine then modifies subsequent search results facilitated by the first user search term to reflect the number of successful search results of the second search term.
