Abstract: Search results can be overwhelming. When people use computer-based tools to find answers to general questions, they often are faced with a daunting list of search results or "hits" returned by the search engine. Many search tools address this problem by helping users to make their searches more specific. However, when dozens or hundreds of documents are relevant to their question, users need tools that help them to explore and to understand their search results, rather than ones that eliminate...
