Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for finding person names in electronic resources. In one embodiment, a search query is received. Electronic resources are identified satisfying the search query. A plurality of person names is identified in the resources, wherein each person name is associated with at least one of the resources. A subset of person names is selected from the plurality of person names based on a predetermined metric configured to identify a relative importance of at least one of the person name or resource. A listing of the subset of person names adapted for presentation on a user interface is generated. In certain aspects, multiple person identities can be identified as being associated with person names in the listing. The listing can include resources associated with one of the person identities corresponding to a particular person name in the listing.
