ABSTRACT:
A method of presenting search results (104) obtained from a search conducted over a computer network (720) is disclosed. The search is performed using searching criteria (102) and returns information including a plurality of network locations (106). Data is extracted (438) from a first one of the network locations and examined442) to identify therein the searching criteria to provide at least one specific location (444) within the first network location of the searching criteria. The specific location is used to identify, from the extracted data, specific data (452) including at least the searching criteria. The specific data is then formatted a printable document (454). Preferably, the steps are repeated for each remaining network location in which the formatted data is incorporated into printable document. Typically, the formatted data spans at least one printable page thereby allowing identification of one or more locations (304) where the pages are void of formatted data. In such instances, further data (524) can be sourced from the computer network formatted and incorporated at least one void location within in the printable document.
