Abstract
A method of discarding results of a search of a collection of data includes parsing a query to produce fragments, searching the collection of data for matches to the fragments, determining a number of matches, placing the matches in a hierarchical tree data structure, determining an amount of space to display the matches, eliminating matches in the hierarchical tree data structure to fit within the amount of space and summarizing the eliminated matches.
