Systems and methods for conducting peer-to-peer (PTP) Internet searches utilizing tagged web resources, that is, web resources that the local user and/or a user at an associated remote computing device has tagged as evidence of a desire to have that resource as part of a PTP search community of resources, are provided. A user's search query is received and local and/or remote client computers associated with the user are searched directly for stored web resource links corresponding to the user's search query. Links to web resources that are identified by the search as corresponding to (i.e., satisfying) the user's search query are presented to the user. The user may then review the presented web resource links and determine if he or she would like to tag the web resource and add it to his or her local list of resources as part of the foundation for future PTP community searches.
