The 3rd party spider program can group search results based on the url.
For example I could group products together by having the products in a
sub folder called products:

www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/yourstore/products/*

And I could have information pages grouped together by putting them in a
folder called info:

www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/yourstore/info/*

And so on.

Thanks for the example Racke, I think I'll see if the search engine can
group the pages using meta tags instead of url's as it seems this is
more trouble then it's worth.
