Abstract

A computer implemented technique, system and method for providing enhanced search results for searches for documents on the Internet. In response to a search request form a user at a client computer, a search engine at a search server performs a search for documents at Internet sites matching the search criteria. A list of matching documents is provided to the client in the form of a hits list. For each document on the hits list, a link is provided to a server which will provide the document to the client in an enhanced format. Upon selection of such a link for a document, a message is sent to the server, and the server retrieves the document from its home server, and modifies the document to graphically highlight the matches to the search criteria found in the document and logically links the matches, so that selection of one match in the document by the user will automatically cause the client to display the portion of the document having the next sequential match. The server sends the modified document to the client for review by the user.
