Abstract: One embodiment included a non-transitory machine-readable medium containing instructions that when executed carry out a method of searching for a search term. The method uses, instead of an index database of search terms, an index database section of only search terms that have the prefix of the search term, such that execution can occur on an improved processing system that is relatively small. The index database section is arranged as a prefix database of terms that start with the prefix, e.g., a trie, a radix trie, or a ternary search tree of the terms. The method may be implemented as a serverless function triggered by a user entering a search term or part thereof.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a server-side process operating on a server includes crawling of one or more websites for possible answers to a query and adding the possible answer entities into a data structure of answer entities to queries. The server-side process also includes serving a requested Web page with an added search box that is displayed by a client coupled to the server. As a user types one or more characters at the client, the client sends the characters, portion-by-portion, e.g., character-by-character to the server-side process. In response, the server-side process searches the index for possible answers to the (so-far-typed) query, and provides to the client a list of answers (rather than queries) to be displayed by the client. Each additional character entered may modify the provided list of answers. The client selecting a listed answer navigation directly to the answer.

Abstract: Security risk for a single IT asset and/or a set of IT assets in a network such as an enterprise or corporate network may be estimated and represented in a visual form by categorizing risk into different discrete levels. The IT assets may include both computing devices and users. The risk categorization uses a security assessment of an IT asset that is generated to indicate the type of security problem encountered, the severity of the problem, and the fidelity of the assessment. The asset value of an IT asset to the enterprise is also assigned. Security risk is then categorized (and a numeric risk value provided) for each IT asset for different problem types by considering the IT asset value along with the severity and fidelity of the security assessment. The security risk for the enterprise is estimated using the numeric risk value and then displayed in visual form.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that improve the efficiency of byte caching mechanisms when transmitting or receiving structured data. Some of these techniques may normalize the structured data before transmission over the network. Other techniques may use templates or semantic differences.
