Abstract
An example method includes identifying instances of a search term in a source text, and identifying prefix strings and suffix strings comprising tokens preceding and subsequent to the search term in the source text. The method further includes displaying a visualization interface that includes the search term within a combined tree diagram that includes a prefix tree and a suffix tree extending to either side of the search term. The prefix tree displays the prefix strings and the suffix tree displays the suffix strings, and both have user-selectable branches. The method further includes providing, in response to a user input selecting a branch in the prefix tree or in the suffix tree, a visual indication of a prefix string and a suffix string in the visualization interface that form a matching sequence that originate together in the source text, for matching sequences that are connected through the selected branch.
