`
`any new engines to be developed capable of searching for and locating digital segments,
`
`whether text, audio, video or graphic.
`
`The present invention also includes an analysis engine 400. Utilizing rules-based
`
`analysis, the analysis engine determines the class of storage medium upon which containers
`
`5
`
`reside, the subsets and supersets by which and in which containers encompass and reside within
`
`one another,
`
`the routes of access to those containers,
`
`the historically successful search
`
`parameters by which those containers are accessed based upon the identity of the user accessing
`
`the containers, and the grade of access chosen by the user in accessing that container 100.
`
`Utilizing a pre-programmed sequence of compilation, and inductive, deductive and
`
`derivative analysis, the analysis engine manufactures instructions based upon the analysis of the
`
`information submitted by the gateways andthe search interface, and submits those instructions
`
`to the appropriate execution engine 500 in order to create new information containers, content
`
`assemblages, storage schemes, access routes, search templates, and gateway instructions, and
`
`others, and to provide informed search options through the search interface to the inquiring user.
`
`The present
`
`invention also includes an engine editor 510,
`
`that provides a system
`
`administrator with a means of editing the operating principles of that search engine, and search
`
`template loading in the search interface 300, a reporting and collection means editor 610, 710,
`
`governing data reporting 600 and data collection 700 at the gateways 200 as defined by the
`
`gateway editor 210 and the register editor 125, a container editor 1 10 for creating and modifying
`

`modifying container registers and establishing and adjusting the values therein, container
`
`gateways 200 with their own storage 205, information containers 100 for holding information
`
`and container registers for holding information about specific containers and their history on the
`
`network.

`
`The present invention also includes an execution engine 300. Based upon instructions
`received from the analysis engine 400 utilizing the communication device 26, the execution
`engine 500 provides search phrases to the search interface 300 based upon initially received
