Abstract: The invention relates to a method, system, software and computer processor for searching an information store, in which documents containing searchable text are stored, for specific information on a particular topic. A search query is input into a search interface. The search query is processed to generate a search string incorporating search terms relating to the search query. The search string is transferred to at least one search engine to generate a preliminary set of potentially relevant results, each result with a link to an underlying document in the information store. The links are automatically followed to the underlying documents and the search terms are located therein. A text extract from the full searchable text of each underlying document is automatically selected based on the location of the search terms therein and pre-determined criteria applied thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of presenting search results generated by a search engine, and a search report, in which individual search results are arranged into separate cells of a table with at least 2 columns.
