Extracting Hidden Web data arises several challenges especially in case of data sources with multi-attribute interfaces wherein multiple attributes and their respective values should be extracted, indexed and stored. Hence, accessing the hidden web content is a potential research area as the pages are dynamically created through search query interface. However, direct query through search interface is laborious way to search. Hence, there has been increased interest in retrieval and integration of hidden web data with a view to give high quality information to the web user or we can say it is highly desirable to build a hidden web search engine. This paper proposes a novel approach for building a hidden web search engine which fills the search forms automatically, extracts the result records, store them in a repository for later searching. This proposed work also provides the user with user interface in which user can fill the query and finds the desired results.
