1. A computer-implemented process for organizing a search-centric history of network searches, comprising:

  • receiving a first search topic for a network search;

    receiving two or more search queries associated with the first search topic, search results accessed by a user associated with each search query, and any site accessed from a trail of one or more links originating from within the accessed search results;

    hierarchically organizing the network search by the first search topic at a highest level, each search query of the two or more queries associated with the first search topic at a second highest level, and the search results associated with each search query of the two or more queries that the user accessed and any site accessed from a trail of one or more links originating from within the accessed search results on a third level; and

    automatically simultaneously displaying the hierarchically organized network search of the two or more queries such that the first search topic is displayed at the highest level, each search query of the two or more queries is displayed indented on a separate line at a level below the first search topic, and each search result accessed by a user and any site accessed by the user from a trail of one or more links originating from within the accessed search results is displayed twice indented on a separate line below each associated search query of the two or more queries.
