A system and method for processing a set of information in a screen display are provided. A set of information is obtained that includes a subset of information corresponding to search criteria. A central focus display section is defined that includes at least one element in the subset of information. One or more context sections including information not included in the central focus display are defined such that the information in the context sections is scaled to allow a substantial portion of the information to be displayed. The information in the central focus display section and context section can be dynamically updated.
