Abstract
A search request for content can be initiated by a user, and the content that is relevant to the search request can be identified and presented in a manner that indicates the content's trustworthiness or relevancy. The identified content can be ranked based on the number of times the content has been referenced as well as by source that referenced the content. The relevant identified content can then be displayed in an ordered list that is ordered based on the number of times the content has been referenced. In some cases, the order may be modified by the authority of the source.
