Abstract

Many text searches are meant to identify one particular fact or one particular section of a document. Unfortunately, predominant search paradigms focus mostly on identifying relevant documents and leave the burden of within-document searching on the user. This research explores term distribution visualizations as a means to more clearly identify both the relevance of documents and the location of specific information within them. We present a set of term distribution visualizations and introduce a Focus+Context model for within-document search and navigation.
