Typical search engines include document snippets. There is no progression from a big picture view of search results to more detailed views. This invention creates a big picture view of search results in terms of cluster / category / topic / facet summaries / snippets. Cluster summary / snippet also has a few top ranking document snippets unlike other clustering search engines. Interactivity is provided for the user to see more / less results of each cluster / category / topic / facet. This helps in better understanding and navigation of search results. Can use traditional windows / rectangles for clusters / categories and sub-rectangles for documents. Alternatively can use a modified treemap. Each cluster with title becomes a parent in the treemap. Unlike traditional treemaps which show all children at a level, it shows a subset of children. A further alternative uses circles / balloons to represent clusters. Documents are shown as sub-circles. Clustering is also improved by additionally using ‘similar terms’ for clustering and getting cluster titles.
