Claim 14:
15. A system for providing an enhanced interactive graphical Internet search user interface for an Internet search process combining Internet search, annotation, and filtering that enables a search engine user to request an Internet search and automatically remove one or more search results that each reference a webpage that does not contain a desired search term element, enabling a faster operation of Internet search for the search engine user by enabling the search engine user to avoid spending time visiting a webpage that is missing the desired search term element, the system comprising:
one or more servers for operating a search engine and for providing an Internet search user interface to a search engine user for operation on a personal computing device having a display screen;
wherein the one or more servers receive a search request from the search engine user via the personal computing device, the search request comprising one or more search term elements;
wherein the one or more servers generate, by operating the search engine in response to receiving the search request, a first Internet search result that references a first webpage that is missing a first search term element and a second Internet search result that references a second webpage;
wherein the one or more servers generate and provide, for display on the personal computing device, the Internet search user interface;
wherein the Internet search user interface comprises the first Internet search result and a first warning to the search engine user that the first webpage is missing the first search term element, wherein the first warning comprises a text representing the first search term element;
wherein the first Internet search result is organized for display as a first search result grouping comprising a first excerpt for the first webpage, a first Internet link for the first webpage, and the first warning;
wherein the Internet search user interface further comprises the second Internet search result, wherein the second Internet search result is organized for display as a second search result grouping that comprises a second excerpt from the second webpage and a second Internet link for the second webpage but does not comprise any warning that any of the one or more search term elements is missing from the second webpage;
wherein the first and second search result groupings are each a unique search result grouping displayed separately from each other;
wherein the Internet search user interface provides a filtering option, wherein the search engine user's selection of the filtering option causes an updated Internet search user interface to be generated and provided, by the one or more servers, for display on the personal computing device; and
wherein the updated Internet search user interface does not display the first Internet search result.
