Abstract

Apparatus and associated systems, methods, and computer program products relate to displaying the most relevant information in a document at or near the top of a page of displayed information. The most relevant information may be determined to be relevant with respect to a set of search query terms, such as those that may be entered into a search engine, for example. In some embodiments, a selected document of interest may be formatted (i.e., transcoded) for display on a small display area, and the transcoding may be arranged to produce a first displayed page or sub-page (if the document is divided among more than one sub-page) that begins with the most relevant information in the document. By formatting transcoded pages in this manner, the most relevant information may be displayed first for immediate viewing by the user.
