We present simple algorithms for three problems belonging to the class of intersection query problems. The first algorithm deals with the static rectangle enclosure problem and can easily be extended to d dimensions, the second algorithm copes with the generalized c-oriented polygon intersection searching problem in two dimensions, while the third solves the static 2-dimensional dominance searching problem with respect to a set of obstacles. All algorithms are simple, are based on persistence and improve previous bounds. Also, as a corollary of the first algorithm, we present a result for the static d-dimensional range searching problem.
