The present invention provides methods and systems to improve network searching for watermarked content. In some implementations we employ keyword searching to narrow the universe of possible URL candidates. A resulting URL list is searched for digital watermarking. A system is provided to allow customer input. For example, a customer enters keywords or network locations. The keywords or network locations are provided to a watermark-enabled web browser which accesses locations associated with the keywords or network locations. Some implementations of the present invention employ a plurality of distributed watermark-enabled web browsers. Other aspects of the invention provide methods and system to facilitate desktop searching and automated metadata gathering and generating. In one implementation a digital watermark is used to determine whether metadata associated with an image or audio file is current or fresh. The metadata is updated when it is out of date. Watermarks can also be used to link to or facilitate so-called on-line “blogs” (or online conversations).

A solution is provided that allows end users to search documents in multiple remote content repositories in an enterprise environment, while maintaining security of those documents. Additionally, end users are able to search for a document without knowing which server or directory it is stored under. This is accomplished by installing a search agent on the end user's machine. The search engine collects the metadata of authorized documents located in different repositories via a web protocol (such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP) and stores them in the user's local memory as “searchable links”. This solves the enterprise content search problem through the creation of searchable links of remote content objects in an end user's local machine while allowing emerging desktop-search technology to index them.

A system for searching an object environment includes harvesting and indexing applications to create a search database and one or more indexes into the database. A scoring application determines the relevance of the objects, and a querying application locates objects in the database according to a search term. One or more of the indexes may be implemented by a hash table or other suitable data structure, where algorithms provide for adding objects to the indexes and searching for objects in the indexes. A ranking scheme sorts searchable items according to an estimate of the frequency that the items will be used in the future. Multiple indexes enable a combined prefix title and full-text content search of the database, accessible from a single search interface.

Described herein are methods and systems for choosing digital advertisements to send to a user's computer while protecting private information. When a user performs a search using a public site, the user's search information is stored in a database.

Apparatus and methods useful for desktop searching are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the invention, for each query, the system evaluates if similar ones would give more results. If so, the system suggests the user with one or several similar queries. Similar queries are based on indexed content so corrections conduct to (that is, lead to) at least one result. According to another embodiment of the invention, for each keyword of the query the system computes a similarity value for a subset of all keywords of the index database. The subset is composed of all keywords minus the ones too short and too lengthy to be similar. Therefore, each keyword from the query gets a list of similar indexed keywords. According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the system replaces each query keyword, one after another, by a member of its similarity list until all combinations of substitutions are listed. The number of results for each similar query is calculated. Corrected queries giving significantly more results than the original query are suggested to the user.

Methods and systems for method for modifying a File Open dialog to enable searching for a file. The method includes writing a namespace extension.

In a data security method for preventing a desktop search tool from exposing encrypted data, when a virtual secure disk receives a control instruction, it is first determined if the control instruction came from the desktop search tool. If not, tasks are performed on the virtual secure disk according to the control instruction. On the other hand, if yes, processing is ended to prevent the desktop search tool from indexing the virtual secure disk, thereby achieving the effects of ensuring data security and privacy.

The invention relates to a search prompting method and device, a mobile terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: monitoring a switching operation for indicating the mobile terminal to switch a display page; when N times of switching operation are continuously monitored, outputting prompt information of using desktop search, wherein N is a positive integer equal to or larger than 2. Thus, when it is monitored that the user continuously performs switching operation on the display page of the mobile terminal for N times, the prompt information of using the desktop search is output to prompt the user to perform desktop search by using the desktop search, so that the user is intelligently reminded when the user cannot find a desired application or file, the user can search conveniently, the operation efficiency of the mobile terminal is improved, and the user operation experience of the mobile terminal is enhanced.

The invention relates to a data safety method which prevents exposure of encryption data by desktop searching tool and includes the following steps: (A) a data safety system with secure disk function is provided; (B) when receiving a control instruction, the data safety system judges whether the control instruction is transmitted by the desktop searching tool; if the control instruction is not transmitted by the desktop searching tool, the operation of the data safety system is still controlled by the control instruction; if the control instruction is transmitted by the desktop searching tool, a reject instruction is transmitted to be stored in the desktop searching tool. When a virtual secure disk receives a control instruction, the invention judges whether the control instruction is transmitted from the desktop searching tool at first; if the judgment is 'NO', the operation of the secure disk is still controlled by the control instruction; if the judgment is 'YES', the operation is stopped to prevent the index of the virtual secure disk by the desktop searching tool, thereby reaching the efficacy of ensuring data safety and privacy.
