Abstract:

A method and structure for searching a computerized network of databases containing documents uses a web crawler. The web crawler is provided with conceptual guidelines before the searching. The invention summarizes and performs text clustering on the summaries to produce classifications. The text clustering is performed using seeds based on the conceptual guidelines. The invention then provides, through a user interface, the classifications and a query entry to search the classifications and directs (in response to the query entry) the user to one or more of the classifications, such that the user is directed to the classifications (and hyperlinks to the documents) and the user is not provided the documents themselves.
