- accessing search results identified for a query submitted by a user, the search results including a first search result associated with a first link to first content and a second search result associated with a second link to second content;
determining, for the first search result, a first property associated with an ability to access the first content using the first link;
determining, for the second search result, a second property associated with an ability to access the second content using the second link, the second property being different than the first property and indicating that the ability to access the second content using the second link is different than the ability to access the first content using the first link; and
creating a graphical user interface enabling display of the search results to the user, the graphical user interface providing a perceivable indication that the ability to access the second content using the second link is different than the ability to access the first content using the first link.

One, or more search results that correspond to the search criteria are displayed on the search tool graphical user interface, and an indication of characteristics is displayed for one or more of the search results. The characteristics displayed may include the availability ,or maturity of content associated with the search results. The search results may be sorted or filtered based on the characteristics of content associated with the search results. The characteristics may be determined before or after the search results are identified and displayed on the search tool graphical user interface.
