Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: providing an electronic document via a computer comprising text and concordance data, wherein said concordance data identifies locations where said text appears on hyperlinked pages, such as web pages; performing a computerized search of said electronic document via said computer based on a multi-term inclusive query to produce preliminary search results comprising search term matches, where each search term match only includes a single term, and wherein said search term matches identify page locations within said hyperlinked pages where individual terms within said multi-term inclusive query appear; determining whether terms within said search term matches are within predetermined proximities of other terms in said multi-term inclusive query via said computer, wherein said predetermined proximities comprise said term within said search term match being within a predetermined number of hyperlink pages of at least one of said other terms in said multi-term inclusive query, wherein said predetermined number of hyperlink pages each have hyperlinks that directly link between each other; eliminating said search term matches via said computer that do not comprise terms that appear within said predetermined proximities from said preliminary search results to produce final search results; and reporting said final search results via said computer.
