Abstract
A method, article of manufacture, and system for enabling context surrounding a search result to be displayed succinctly. The method includes searching a document set configured as a frequency ordered suffix tree to obtain a frequency ordered context tree. Applying dynamic programming to the frequency ordered context tree to retrieve a set (C) of context strings (c) having n1 elements of context strings (c). Defining an area covered by a character string (s) in the entire set of context strings C {c, . . . , c} as the product of (1) the number (n2) of context strings (c) having s as a prefix and (2) the length of character string (s). Obtaining a set of character strings (S) that maximizes the sum of areas. In addition, dynamic programming can include a pruning process such that if an upper limit does not reach a maximum value, the search in progress is abandoned.
