SYSTEM AND METHOD OF GENERATING A SET OF SEARCH RESULTS
First Claim
1. A system to generate a set of search results, the system comprising:
- an interface responsive to a network to receive data related to a first document;
processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic, the memory to store a plurality of modules executable by the processing logic to recursively retrieve documents, extract directed links and attributes, and traverse the directed links to identify a first set of search results, the plurality of modules comprising;
a search module to retrieve one or more documents,an attribute extraction module to extract directed links and other attributes from the one or more documents;
a backward/forward link traversal module to bi-directionally traverse directed links to identify documents; and
a graphical user interface (GUI) module to generate a GUI including data related to the first set of search results and to provide the GUI to a destination device via the network.

Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a system includes an interface responsive to a network to receive data related to a first document and includes processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic. The memory stores a plurality of modules executable by the processing logic to recursively retrieve documents, extract directed links and attributes, and traverse the directed links to identify a first set of search results. The plurality of modules includes a search module to retrieve one or more documents and includes an attribute extraction module to extract directed links and other attributes from the one or more documents. The plurality of modules further includes a backward/forward link traversal module to bi-directionally traverse directed links to identify documents and includes a graphical user interface (GUI) module to generate a GUI including data related to the first set of search results and to provide the GUI to a destination device via the network.

8. A method of generating a set of search results, the method comprising:
-
identifying one or more associations between a first document and a first set of search results; recursively traversing the one or more associations bi-directionally to retrieve a second set of search results based on associations to the first set of search results, each search result of the second set of search results including multiple data variables; selectively pivoting on a particular data variable from the multiple data variables of at least one result of the second set of search results to generate a third set of search results; and sending a graphical user interface (GUI) including data related to the third set of search results to a destination device via a network. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of generating a set of search results, the method comprising:
-
recursively traversing directed links from a first document of a document space to one or more documents in the document space and from the one or more documents to other documents in the document space to find backward related documents associated with the first document; recursively searching the document space using an identifier related to the first document to identify related documents that include an association to the first document and using identifiers from the related documents to identify forward related documents generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including a plurality of selectable indicators corresponding to the backward and forward related documents; and providing the GUI to a destination device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
