Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of how information visualization techniques can be used to assist full-text search in electronic documents. Our approach supports multiple term queries with interactive treemaps. We use a treemap to visualize the basic structure of the document and exploit color coding to show the distribution of query terms on various levels of the hierarchy. Furthermore, we include filtering techniques to concentrate on those parts of the structure that actually contain the requested information, and, finally provide interactive tools to give access to detailed information whenever the user wishes.
