The fourth step searches each abstract for the search expression or alternatively for related expressions or ideas as well. In a further embodiment, the method also comprises the step of sorting the abstracts in order of significance of their corresponding concepts. In yet a further embodiment, the method also comprises the step of sorting the abstracts in alphabetical order of their corresponding concepts. Other embodiments include a computerized system for implementing the computerized method, and a computer-readable storage medium having a program thereon for directing a computer to perform the method.
