A computer research tool (26) for indexing, searching and displaying data is disclosed. Textual objects and other data in a database (54) are indexed by creating a numerical representation of the data. An indexing technique called proximity indexing indexes the data by using statistical techniques and empirically developed algorithms. Using proximity indexing, an efficient search for pools of data can be effectuated. The Computer Search progam, called the Computer Search Program for Data represented in Matrices (CSPDM), provides efficient computer search methods. The CSPDM rank orders data in accordance with the data's relationship to time, a paradigm datum, or any similar reference. The user interface program, called the Graphical User Interface (GUI), provides a user friendly method of interacting with the CSPDM program and prepares and presents a visual graphical display. The graphical display provides the user with a two dimensional spatial orientation of the data.
