`ABSTRACT
`
`A client-server multitasking process comprising: receiving a
`request comprising searching criteria, comprising n search
`queries, at least two of which comprise different query
`values directed to different server addresses, request group-
`ing criteria, and display criteria specifying for which request
`group information is to be returned; processing n search
`query and server address pairs into m request groups; for the
`search queries in the specified request group, sending to the
`server designated by the server address a query derived from
`the corresponding search query; receiving response infor-
`mation from the servers; processing the response informa-
`tion into a plurality of return groups by associating a
`different query value with a different one of the return
`groups and merging into the return group the response
`information from the servers that received queries directed
`to the query value associated with the return group; con-
`solidating the return groups into a consolidated response;
`returning the consolidated response.
