Abstract
Systems and methods include presenting search results from multiple sources by grouping the results from some of the multiple sources, ranking each of the multiple sources and groups of sources, and not presenting duplicate resultsfrom lower ranked sources. In this way, the user is provided with search results that are distinct as opposed to presenting the same result multiple times when it is available from different sources.
