A system for performing a search for a document in a collection of documents (11) is presented. A user input unit (1) enables a user to indicate a part of a search term. An auto completion unit (2) determines one or more completions of the part of the search term in order to obtain one or more completed search terms. An associating unit (3) associates a completed search term with a document matching the completed search term, wherein the document has a property, e.g. a time, associated therewith. An arranging unit (4) arranges the one or more completed search terms, based on the property of the documents associated with the completed search terms, to obtain an arrangement.

1. A system for performing a search for a document in a collection of documents, comprising
a user input device of a computer for enabling a user to indicate a part of a search term; an autocompletion unit, implemented via a processor of the computer, for determining two or more completions of the part of the search term, to obtain two or more completed search terms; an associating unit, implemented via the processor of the computer, for associating each completed search term of the two or more completed search terms with a document matching the completed search term, wherein the document has a property associated therewith; an arranging unit, implemented via the processor of the computer, for arranging each completed search term of the two or more completed search terms in a display, based on the property of the document associated with the completed search term, to obtain an arrangement of the two or more completed search terms; and a display device of the computer for displaying the arrangement of the two or more completed search terms, wherein the arranging unit displays a timeline on the display, the line including points, and each point representing a value of a property, and wherein the autocompletion unit displays at least two pictures of at least two documents near respective points on the timeline corresponding to respective properties of the documents, wherein each of the pictures represents a respective one of the documents, and the arranging unit displays at least two boxes, wherein the boxes include text identifying completed search terms of a group of completed search terms associated with the documents, wherein the boxes are positioned, respectively, at a predetermined distance from the respective displayed documents. |
