Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for enhancing search results generated by a search engine. A graphical user interface may display search results, which may include at least one multi-part record comprising a plurality of independent documents. Upon receiving a selection of the multi-part record from the search results a detailed view of the record may be displayed. The detailed view of the record may include a listing of the multiple documents that form the record along with an indication of whether keywords from the search criteria are present in the documents. By providing an indication of exactly which documents of a multi-part record include keywords associated with a search, embodiments of the invention allow users to easily identify desired materials from a list of search results comprising the multipart record.
