Abstract
Concepts in documents selected are identified to a user. These concepts are represented by multiple words. A search engine is used to that accesses one or more selected documents from a plurality of documents storied in one or more of the memories. Then a markup engine selects multiple-word terms in each of one or more of the selected documents. The selected words, often multiple word/concepts, are selected because they are repeated in one of the documents and because that meet grammatical criteria. After the markup engine selects the selected words, it marks each of the selected words with marker. These active markers can then be used to launch additional searches or displays of related information. Optionally, documents with the selected words are displayed to a user with the markers.
