This disclosure provides a method of and service for searching for locations (e.g., web sites) on a network (e.g., the internet). The method begins by inputting a query from a user and searching the internet based on the query to produce search results (comprising web sites) in an order of relevance, where more relevant results are ordered ahead of less relevant results. However, rather than directly reporting the search results to the user as conventional search methodologies do, the invention reorganizes the search results into storylines. More specifically, the invention identifies focused vocabularies from the search results, where each focused vocabulary forms a separate storyline. In addition, the invention maximizes the number of search results that are included in each storyline, minimizes the number of search results that are included in multiple storylines; and also minimizes the number of storylines. Then the invention reports the storylines to the user.
