A computer comprising a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory coupled to the CPU is provided. The memory includes a vertical index comprising a plurality of vertical index lists. Each vertical index list comprises a head term and a plurality of vertical collection identifiers. Each vertical collection referenced by a vertical collection identifier comprises documents that include the head term. The memory further comprises instructions for receiving a vertical search query from a remote client and instructions for identifying a plurality of candidate vertical collections related to the vertical search query. For each vertical collection in the plurality of candidate vertical collections, there is a vertical search query relevance score associated with the vertical collection. The memory further includes instructions for communicating a name of each candidate collection in the plurality of candidate collections to the remote client together with the search query relevance scores for the candidate collections.

A graphical user interface stored in a memory of a client computer is provided. The interface comprises a prompt field for a vertical search query from a user. The interface further comprises a field for displaying a plurality of names. Each such name represents a vertical collection. The plurality of names is automatically populated, at a time when the user is still entering characters in the prompt field, as a function of one or more character strings in the prompt field. A computer comprising a memory storing instructions for receiving a vertical search query, communicating the query to a remote computer, and receiving a plurality of names from the remote computer. Each name represents a vertical collection having relevance to the vertical search query. The plurality of names is displayed at a time when the user is still entering additional characters into the vertical search query.

Systems and methods for providing search results responsive to a search query are provided. A submitted search query is received from a search requester. Search results relevant to the search query are obtained from a document index. Each search result comprises (i) a source document or a reference to a source document and (ii) a static graphic representation of the source document. The static graphic representation of the source document was obtained from the source document at a time before the submitted search query was received. The static graphic representation of the source document of a first search result in the search results is displayed in a center position of a graphic output device. The static graphic representation of the source document of a second search result in the search results is displayed in an off-center position of the graphic output device. The static graphic representation of the source document of the second search result is displayed rotated about an axis of rotation that lies between the center position and the off-center position.

Systems and methods for building a document or vertical index are provided in which a document comprising code for a web page on the Internet is obtained. A static graphic representation of the web page is rendered thereby building a word map that has, for each respective word in a plurality of words, areas in the representation occupied by the word. The word map having (i) an instance of a word, (ii) x- and y- coordinates of where the word appears in the representation, and (iii) a size of the area in the representation occupied by the word, is stored. A document or vertical index including the document is built such that x- and y- coordinates of the word in the representation or the size of the area in the representation occupied by the word is used as a feature of the document in the document or vertical index.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for processing a plurality of documents are provided. A plurality of documents is obtained. Each respective document in the plurality of documents comprises code for a unique web page available on the Internet that corresponds to the respective document. A static graphic representation of the unique web page corresponding to a document in the plurality of documents is rendered. The rendering comprises generating a word map for the static graphic representation that comprises, for each respective word in a plurality of words in the document, each area in the static graphic representation that is occupied by the respective word. The static graphic representation of the unique web page corresponding to the document in the plurality of documents and the word map for the unique web page is stored. The rendering and storing is repeated for each document in the plurality of documents.

Systems and methods for displaying a search result are provided in which a submitted search query is received from a search requester. Responsive to the search query, search results relevant to the submitted search query are retrieved from a document index, where each respective search result in at least a portion of the search results corresponds to a document in a plurality of documents. An annotated static graphic representation of a search result in the search results is displayed. The annotated static graphic representation is constructed by using a stored word map for a static graphic representation to identify each area in the static graphic representation that is occupied by a word in the submitted search query and using this information to highlight each area in the static graphic representation that is occupied by a word in the submitted search query, thereby forming the annotated static graphic representation.

Under one aspect, a method of displaying information includes: obtaining, responsive to a user query, an album from a remote computer, wherein the album comprises a plurality of links. Each link is to a static graphic representation, and each static graphic representation is stored in a document repository in a remote location. Each static graphic representation is a static graphic representation of a document retrieved from the Internet at a time before the obtaining. The method also includes getting, responsive to said user query, a subset or all of the static graphic representations using a corresponding subset or all of the links. The subset or all of the static graphic representations in the album is at least two static graphic representations in the album. The method also includes displaying the subset of static representations on a graphic output device.
