A technique is disclosed for providing image artifact to medical diagnostic institutions and systems. The information and images is created and stored on machine readable media. A user may enter a problem query at a user interface at the diagnostic institution or system and search a database of information located at a centralized service facility. A list of solutions and images having characteristic artifacts is displayed at the diagnostic institution. The user may then select and display a desired image or solution from the user interface. The particular solution may include textual and exemplary images descriptions of the solution. Moreover, additional links may be provided to access other related sources of information. The information stored on the machine readable media may be easily solutions to existing case problems.

The computer program of claim 15 further comprising: a traversing code segment that causes the computer to automatically traverse the network to identify the geographic data; an associating code segment that causes the computer to associate the geographic data and the business category code with the source; and a storing code segment that causes the computer to store the geographic data, the business category code and the associated source in the electronic data store. 22. A computer program stored on a computer readable medium or a propagated signal for indexing content on a network, comprising: a traversing code segment that causes the computer to traverse the network to identify content associated with a uniform resource locator; an extracting code segment that causes the computer to extract geographic data from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator without manual user intervention; an assigning code segment that causes the computer to assign a business category code to the uniform resource locator based on whether the extracted geographic data matches with data contained in a database; and an indexing code segment that causes the computer to index the identified uniform resource locator and the associated geographic data in an electronic data store. 23. The computer program of claim 22 wherein the electronic data store includes a searchable database. 24. The computer program of claim 22 wherein the extracting code segment causes the computer to extract a zip code from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator. 25. The computer program of claim 22 wherein the extracting code segment causes the computer to extract local area exchange information from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator. 26. The computer program of claim 25 wherein the extracting code segment causes the computer to extract an area code from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator. 27. The computer program of claim 22 wherein the extracting code segment causes the computer to extract a city and a state from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator. 28. The computer program of claim 22 wherein the extracting code segment causes the computer automatically to extract geographic data from the content associated with the identified uniform resource locator. 29. A system for performing a search of network accessible content, comprising: means for receiving a query; means for accessing data stored in an electronic data store containing geographic data obtained by automatically traversing a network, extracting the geographic data from web documents across the network and associating the geographic data and a business category code with a source based on whether the extracted geographic data matches with data contained in a database; means for searching the data stored in the electronic data store for a match to the query; and means for returning a result to the query. 30. The system of claim 29 wherein the geographic data includes a zip code. 31. The
