Search Engine For Second Life®

Technology Benefits: Free to users

Technology Application: Second Life® searches

Detailed Technology Description: The invention relates to collecting as much information as possible from the virtual world, and then (1) filtering out information that is of no public interest, (2) processing the information so that the most useful parts get used; and (3) ranking the search results according to relevance. By using clustering and tagging techniques, program-driven “crawling” avatars log into each sim of the Second Life Grid™ and collects information about the places and objects there.
