Abstract: Search results of an Internet search or a database search are processed and displayed on a display device. A sorted list of search results to a search query is received; a plurality of valuation criteria for valuating the elements of the list is defined; the elements of the list are valuated according to the valuation criteria and arranged in a multidimensional space. A distance of an element in the multidimensional space from a center of the multidimensional space depends on the position of the element in the list. A respective direction vector in the multidimensional space is assigned to each valuation criterion. A direction-related position of the element relative to the center of the multidimensional space depends on the valuations of the element with respect to the valuation criteria.
