Abstract
A method for searching and displaying documents at a computer includes: receiving one or more search keywords from a user of the computer, identifying a set of documents stored at a plurality of data sources, each document including one or more chunks that match at least one search keyword; and displaying in a search results window a set of search results in a text-based display format, each search result including at least one chunk retrieved from a respective document and the chunk includes at least one instance of a highlighted search keyword. In response to a user selection of a first search result in the search results window, the computer launches a first document preview window adjacent to the first search result and displays within the first document preview window a portion of a first document in a display format consistent with a document type of the first document.
