1. A method comprising:
- based on a search query, using a computer server system having one or more processors to select a first entry in an index that is stored at a storage device, wherein the first entry is relevant to the search query and comprises a first information item and a first sentence fragment, wherein the first sentence fragment and the first information item are extracted from text of a first electronic document and wherein the first sentence fragment differs from the first information item;
generating a search result set comprising at least the first information item of the first entry using the computer server system; and
outputting the search result set from the computer server system for use by a client device.
