Abstract

A method of evaluating a particular document relating to property includes selecting the particular document from a set of pre-selected documents. Each pre-selected document has associated therewith one or more search linkages that identify how the pre-selected document was selected, using user-supplied inputs, from a larger set of documents relating to property. The method also includes using the one or more search linkages associated with the particular document to determine a relevance factor associated with the document. The method further includes displaying to a user information relating to the document.
