The document introduces the concept of Answer-Focused Summarization (AFS), which aims to enhance search engine results by providing concise summaries that directly answer users' natural language questions. It critiques existing summarization methods, particularly those used by Google, and presents a new proximity-based summarization system that utilizes question types to improve performance. The authors develop evaluation metrics for AFS and demonstrate through experiments that their method significantly outperforms traditional summarization techniques in answering questions. They suggest that improving AFS can reduce search costs and enhance information retrieval, especially for mobile devices.
