Abstract

Systems and techniques are provided for detecting columns of an electronic page based on a render of the electronic page and identification of one or more columns based on the render. A column of interest may be identified based on detecting the one or more columns based on a physical position of the column, a column size, and/or the content within the column. The column of interest may be used to index or categorize the electronic page as the most relevant information corresponding to the page may be contained in the column of interest.
