Introduction

The Web Host Access Tools (W.H.A.T.) project is a work-in-progress focused on improving the quality of web searches by conducting searches within a user specified context. In its current form, it is a multithreaded Java application that performs queries on multiple search engines and filters, consolidates, and sorts generated data based on user context, history, and feedback. Client-side data storage and manipulation components are implemented using JDBC and mySQL DBMS.
