1. A display device displaying a user-interest sensitive indicator of search results comprising:
- an electronic display device including;
information that signals the meaning of at least one document selected by a query of a database based on at leastentered search terms,the information based on the entered search terms,determined user interest information, anda determined user-interest sensitive condensation of at least one passage of the at least one document,the user-interest sensitive condensation including prioritizing the retention of the elements of the passage that match elements of the user interest information,the user-interest sensitive condensation determined by reducing at least some of the determined passages from the at least one document based on the search terms and the user interest information by at least one of merging, deleting and changing elements of the passages, and further includingprioritizing the retention of the elements of the passage that match the elements of the user interest information; and
a link identifying the at least one document.

Abstract
Techniques are provided to construct and use user-interest sensitive indicators of search results. A set of documents is determined based on one or more search terms. Passages within each selected document are identified based on the search terms. Condensation transformations applied to the passages to preferentially retain elements of the passage based on the search terms and user interest information. The resultant indicator is provides a user-interest sensitive signal of the meaning of the passage.
