1. A method, comprising:
representing content, at least in part, as a data representation corresponding to a set of partial subtrees, wherein the set of partial subtrees comprises at least a first partial subtree having a same node as a second partial subtree;
representing a query as a numeral;
comparing the numeral with one or more numerals;
enumerating the set of partial subtrees, wherein the one or more numerals represent the enumerated set of partial subtrees; and
returning at least one or more corresponding partial subtrees of the enumerated set of partial subtrees based, at least in part, on the comparing.
