Abstract
List-based search results are generated. According to one technique, items are extracted from multiple resources deemed relevant to a user-submitted search query, and a comprehensive master list of those items is compiled and returned to the query-submitted user in response to his submission. According to another technique, lists of items are identified within such query-relevant resources. For each list-containing resource deemed to be relevant to the query terms, a list is extract from that resource and included within that resource's abstract on the search results page returned to the user in response to his submission. Additionally, the resources may be re-ranked for generation of the search results page based on the lists contained within those resources in addition to (or regardless of) occurrences of query terms within those resources.
