The system contains a search region containing a user's search criteria, a result region comprising indicia of several search categories, and a connection indicator establishing a visual connection between the search term contained in a search region and a selected one of search category indicia so as to enable a user to make a cognitive connection indicating that the user's search term was found in the particular search category indicated by the connection indicator.
