A multiple reference hotlist is formatted from the records in the history log database, wherein the multiple reference hotlist comprises a list of addresses for web pages retrieved from the records and the list is sorted by the accumulated counts retrieved from the records. The multiple reference hotlist is then displayed for a user.
