A wrapper is a program that selectively extracts a necessary part (component) from Web pages. Automatic or semi-automatic wrapper construction is crucial to achieve a fine grained search engine for Web pages. However, this is not an easy task to achieve. This paper proposes a component-based search engine in which the content components gain a high score in the search results. Thus, the required segments for a query can be obtained without using a wrapper.
