A computer generates a modified list of search terms by adding synonyms of the search terms and terms that are related to the search terms to a list of search terms. The computer removes frequently used words from the modified list of search terms. The computer responds to a determination that a user has authorization to view a field of a document by adding to the modified list of search terms an encrypted version of a search term included in a list of search terms. A search using the modified list of search terms returns a result that identifies the document as a search result when either the unencrypted or the encrypted version of the search term is found in a list of index terms associated with the first document.

Providing access control for public and private document fields

A computer determines, based on a degree of authorization of a user, that a user has authorization to view a type of field. Based on the degree of authorization of the user, the computer generates a modified list of search terms by adding additional search terms to a list of search terms. The computer executes a search using the modified list of search terms. The computer identifies a search result that includes the first type of field which further includes a search term that is included in the modified list of search terms.

A semiconductor device disclosed herein includes a conductive connection structure having a stepped profile that serves as a stress relief feature. The conductive connection structure includes a stress buffer arrangement for a contact pad. The stress buffer arrangement has a stepped via that terminates at the contact pad, and the stepped via has a plurality of inwardly sloped and concentric sections in a stacked orientation. The connection structure also includes underbump metallization overlying at least a portion of the contact pad and lining the stepped via, and a conductive connection element coupled to the underbump metallization. The conductive connection element fills the lined recess.
