A search engine system with privacy protection, including a data indexer configured to create an index of data, a search engine configured to search the index of the data in response to a query, and create a search result set including excerpts from the data, and a privacy protector configured to identify at least one data entity within at least one excerpt of the search result set that meets at least one predefined entity extraction criterion, redact the search result set by removing the data entity from the excerpt, and present the redacted search result set on a computer output device.

Search engine with privacy protection

A document review and security technique is provided that presents a first portion of a document to a first reviewer, wherein the first portion includes less than the entire document, presents a second portion of the document to a second reviewer, wherein the second portion includes less than the entire document, wherein the second portion is at least partially different from the first portion, and wherein the first reviewer and the second reviewer are different reviewers, receives from the first reviewer a review action input associated with the first portion, receives from the second reviewer a review action input associated with the second portion, and determines a disposition of the document in accordance with the review action inputs.

Minimizing sensitive data exposure during preparation of redacted documents

A method for presenting data, the method including presenting via a first computer output device an indicator indicating a data item whose value is prevented, in accordance with predefined access control criteria, from being presented via the first computer output device, receiving from a requestor a request to present the data item value, maintaining a record of an identity of the requestor together with a description of the requested data item, and presenting via a second computer output device the data item value.

Data access control with flexible data disclosure

Personal information is retrieved from at least one data source and personal information associated with a first individual is identified. A document is generated that is a version of a first document, wherein the personal information associated with the first individual cannot be discerned.

Focused personal identifying information redaction

Processing documents by highlighting a portion of a document displayed on a computer display, where the portion is highlighted when a cursor is in a predefined location of the display relative to the location of the portion of the document, where the portion is identified as a candidate for selection for a post-selection operation prior to the cursor being in the predefined location of the display, and where the highlighting is done independent of any input received via a computer input device to indicate the extents of the portion, and recording a selection of the portion when an input that is predefined to indicate a selection action is received in association with the portion via a computer input device.

Selecting portions of computer-accessible documents for post-selection processing

Document redaction includes identifying within a computer-based document stored on computer-readable storage medium, a candidate redaction element that is of a predefined redaction element type, identifying an evaluation element that is of a predefined evaluation element type and that is associated with the candidate redaction element, identifying a predefined logic expression that is associated with the redaction element type and that operates on the evaluation element type, evaluating the logic expression which generates a value, identifying a predefined permission expression that is associated with the logic expression, that operates on the value, and that is associated with a recipient role, evaluating the permission expression, which identifies a redaction directive, and applying the redaction directive to the candidate redaction element within the computer-based document prior to the computer-based document being provided to a recipient having the recipient role.

Automated document redaction

Provided are techniques for displaying search results in a first page, receiving feedback from the user that indicate which of the search results in the first page are at least one of relevant and irrelevant, re-ordering the search results in a second page based on the indications of the search results in the first page, and displaying the re-ordered search results in the second page.

Iterative refinement of search results based on user feedback

Code review is performed by initiating a source code editing session associated with a first user, where the source code editing session is controlled by a computer-based source code editing tool that is configured to accept changes to source code of a computer-based software application during the source code editing session, displaying on a computer display, in the context of the source code editing session, a source code portion of the computer-based software application, and displaying on the computer display, in the context of the source code editing session, a visual indicator that is associated with the source code portion, and that indicates that the source code portion was added or modified by a second user.
