Abstract:
Systems and methods for updating a document are provided. A document content updater is configured to determine a web-based source for a section of content that is contained in an electronic document. The document content updater is further configured to determine for the section of content an update that is included in a copy of the web-based source contained in web-content downloaded by a web crawler.

Abstract:
A system and method for search, including steps of: receiving one or more search terms; searching an index for the one or more search terms to generate search results; retrieving the search results, wherein some of the search results include web pages associated with application programs; preparing a search results page for presentation to the user, wherein said search results page comprises at least a partial listing of the search results; presenting a search tool pod located on a portion of the search results page without obscuring the search results, wherein said search tool pod includes a list of application modules for executing the application programs associated with the search results that are presented; receiving a selection of a first application module; and presenting the first application module for user interaction in an area of the search results page that is smaller than the entire search results page.

Abstract:
A system and method is described that allows a user to copy information from documents accessed via an information retrieval system into a target document, such as an electronic research document, in an easy and organized fashion. In accordance with one implementation, the system and method allows a user to access a variety of source documents via a single research document and to copy content from any of the source documents into the research document in a manner that does not require the user to manage a large number of windows displayed on his/her computer. In a further implementation, the system and method allows the user to insert copied content into the research document in a manner that automatically ensures proper attribution or association of the copied content with the source document from which it was copied.
