Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment receive a keyword from a client, create search results for the keyword via an index. Context information is determined from the search results using a file name and a topic name as a key. A context tag is then created in a search-results page. The context tag includes the context information. When the context tag is interpreted at the client, it causes the context information to be displayed after the search results are selected. In this way, a user may more easily determine the relevant search results.
