Web based search engines have been with us for a long time now. They proved to be an irreplaceable tool for researchers and Internet users all over the world. The exponential growth of the Internet has disclosed great challenges to these engines, as it is hard to maintain an accurate database of numerous web pages over time. This problem becomes wearisome, as it is often necessary to browse through several results before locating a web page that matches the given query. As today mobile devices are able to connect to the Internet through high-cost low-bandwidth wireless networks, this tactic can become very expensive. Motivated by these issues, we designed and implemented SearchSweep, a mobile agent based client-server system that uses existing search engine systems on the web to locate and download web pages. A refinement system on the server makes this solution ideal for mobile users, or users with limited bandwidth. The structure of SearchSweep platform is presented and the use of mobile agents on wireless devices is proposed as a way of attacking their limitations.
