4. A method of creating a graphical user interface for search results, the method comprising: identifying search results for a received query from potential search results based on content data generated based on analyzing the potential search results, the identified search results including a first identified search result associated with a first link to first content and a second identified search result associated with a second link to second content; accessing characteristic data generated for the first and second identified search results based on analyzing the potential search results; determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the first identified search result, a first characteristic of the first identified search result; determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the second identified search result, a second characteristic of the second identified search result, the second characteristic of the second identified search result being different than the first characteristic of the first identified search result; determining display information for the identified search results based on the first characteristic of the first identified search result and the second characteristic of the second identified search result; creating a graphical user interface enabling display of the identified search results to the user based on the display information, each of the identified search results displayed with prose and an icon at an end thereof, the prose and icon of each identified search result indicating that the second content accessible through invocation of the second link associated with the second identified search result includes; and selecting an icon that reveals a description of (i) at least one characteristic of a search result, (ii) an explanation of the icon, and (iii) a detailed description of die characteristic and how a determination was made that content for which the icon is displayed has the at least one characteristic represented by the icon.

The method of claim 4 wherein: determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the first identified search result, the first characteristic of the first identified search result comprises determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the first identified search result, that the first content accessible through invocation of the first link associated with the first identified search result is appropriate for a first age group; determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the second identified search result, the second characteristic of the second identified search result comprises determining, based on the accessed characteristic data corresponding to the second identified search result, that the second content accessible through invocation of the second link associated with the second identified search result is inappropriate for the first age group; creating the graphical user interface enabling display of the identified search results to the user based on the display information comprises creating a graphical user interface enabling display of the identified search results to the user based on the display information, the graphical user interface providing a perceivable indication, other than the second content, that the second content accessible through invocation of the second link associated with the second identified search result is inappropriate for the first age group, regardless of whether the received query includes user specified criteria concerning whether content is inappropriate, the user specified criteria defines the received query; and the perceivable indication is the prose and the icon.
