Information retrieval systems display search results by various methods. This paper focuses on a model for displaying a list of search results by means of textual elements that utilize a new information unit that replaces the currently used information unit. This paper includes a short description of several studies that support the model. The results of the research show that we can improve effectiveness of using search results list by displaying the lines in context instead of first lines of documents. Adding optional data components such as key words and category can improve even better the effectiveness of the search.
