Abstract
Techniques for identifying and accessing documents (e.g., web pages) of interest to a user in a network environment without compromising the user's privacy. A user system receives index information comprising information related to documents stored in a network environment. The index information is then used to identify and access documents of interest to the user. The identification of documents of interest to the user is performed on the user system thus obviating the need to provide any information to search engines executing on remote servers. The present invention preserves user privacy by controlling and minimizing the communication and collection of user-related information from the user system. Merely by way of example, the present invention allows users to identify and access web pages from web servers coupled to a communication network such as the Internet without compromising user privacy.
