Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for creating and displaying an integrated search and web browser history to a user. In particular, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory including computer program code, and the memory and computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive search data provided to a website and navigational data relating to a webpage. The apparatus may determine a relationship between the search data and the navigational data and may further provide for a graphical representation of the search data, the navigational data, and the relationship between the search and navigational data to be displayed to the user. Thus, the user can have not only a record of the webpages accessed or search terms used in the previous search, but also a meaningful organization and contextual representation of the search.
