Abstract
Internet search engines sometimes provide Internet search results referencing webpages that do not contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where the referenced webpages do not contain an important search term element. The present invention is directed to annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements. This facilitates the user to avoid clicking on an Internet search result where the user's search term elements are not present on the referenced webpage, and thereby prevents wasting the user's time. Furthermore, frequently, search term elements are missing on a webpage referenced by an Internet search result but are found on a descendant webpage thereof. Accordingly, the present invention is further directed to annotating an Internet search result consistent with the presence or absence of search term elements on both a referenced webpage and one or more descendant webpages.
