A system and method for grouping chunks, highlighting a chunk location within a document, and ranking hyperlinks of a document. A portion of a document including one or more hyperlinks to linked documents at respective data sources is displayed in a first window. In response to a search request including one or more search terms, one or more of the linked documents are requested from the respective data sources. When a respective linked document is received from a respective data source, it is determined whether the respective linked document includes chunks that match at least one of the search terms. If true, at least a subset of the chunks are displayed as a respective group in a second window only if a number of groups displayed in the second window is less than a predefined number of groups.
