Presenting the Results of Your Query

A Text query application allows you to view the documents returned by a query. You typically select a document from the hitlist and then your application presents the document in some form.

With interMedia Text, you can render a document in different ways. For example, with the query terms highlighted. Highlighted query terms can be either the words of a word query or the themes of an ABOUT query in English. This rendering uses the CTX_DOC.HIGHLIGHT or CTX_DOC.MARKUP procedures.

You can also obtain theme information from documents with the CTX_DOC.THEMES PL/SQL package. Besides these there are several other CTX_DOC procedures for presenting your query results.
