Abstract
Systems, software, and computer implemented methods can be used to present stylized text snippets with search results received from a search query. A search query is received and at least one web-addressable document responsive to the search query is identified. At least a portion of the text associated with the at least one responsive document and including at least a portion of the search term is retrieved. Further, style information associated with the retrieved portion of text is also retrieved. The style information is then applied to the associated portion of text to create a stylized portion of text associated with the at least one responsive document. A set of search query results including a listing of responsive documents and, for at least one of those documents, a stylized portion of text, is presented.
