1. A computer-based method of filtering search results, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of documents for review;
identifying an initial plurality of search term results potentially relevant to a search query, each search term result of the initial plurality containing an occurrence of a primary search term of a plurality of primary search terms and each search term result of the plurality of search term results being drawn from one of the plurality of documents for review, and wherein each search term result of the plurality of search term results is smaller than the one of the plurality of documents from which it is drawn;
grouping search term results of the initial plurality of search term results that are identical to each other to define a plurality of groups of search term results, such that a first group of search term results of the plurality of groups of search term results comprises search term results different than those of a second group of search term results of the plurality of groups of search term results;
displaying a representative search term result of the first group of search term results for evaluation;
upon receiving an indication from a user that the representative search term result is to be removed, removing all search term results of the first group from the initial plurality of search term results to define a modified plurality of search term results; and
defining each document from which any search result of the modified plurality of search term results is drawn as a potentially relevant document,
wherein each term result of the plurality of search term results is larger than the search term, such that search results are defined as identical only if contents of the search term results other than the search term are identical,
wherein, upon receiving an indication from the user that the representative search term result is ambiguous, displaying a document component containing the search term result to the user, wherein the component is larger than the corresponding search term result but smaller than the document from which the search term result is drawn, and
wherein, upon receiving a further indication from the user that the document component is to be removed, removing the corresponding representative search term result from the at least one group of search term results and defining a different search term result from the group of search term results as the representative search term result for display to the user.
