  • Patent number: 9578018
    Abstract: Remote sign-out of web based service sessions. As a part of remote sign-out of web based service sessions, a user authentication token is accessed that is used to establish a web based service session and this user authentication token is stored in memory of an authentication server and returned in a cookie to the device. User access and deletion of the user authentication token from memory is accommodated using a device different from that which initially established the web based service session. Upon receipt of a browser request involving the user authentication token, it is determined whether the user authentication token is stored in memory. An access denial indication is provided to a web based service that indicates that the user authentication token is not stored in memory.

  • Publication number: 20070203891
    Abstract: A search index referencing document includes targeted content indicators. A process first identifies documents in the search index for targeted content analysis. Each document identified is then analyzed with a targeted content metric to produce a targeted content indication that is associated with the document in the search index. For example, a metadata score can be appended to the reference to the document in the search index. When a search query that includes a targeted content request is subsequently received from a user device, search results are produced by limiting the results displayed to those related to the targeted content requested. For example, the request may be for documents that are educationally relevant. The results displayed to the user can be ordered based on the targeted content indicated associated with each document listed.

  • Publication number: 20070094293
    Abstract: When a search index is generated, it includes entries tagged with the readability of documents referenced by the search index. A determination of the readability is made if a document is not yet associated with a preexisting entry in the search index and is being added, by analyzing the document to produce a readability indicator. For example, the readability indicator can correspond to a grade level identifier, thereby enabling search index to be searchable by grade level, age, or age range. A grade level-based search request received from a user can be submitted to search this search index for documents limited to a specific grade or age readability. The search results that are returned are thus filtered in regard to the readability indicator associated with the documents in the search index.

  • Publication number: 20060129541
    Abstract: In response to characters entered within a Find dialog box, a minifind window is dynamically updated to provide corresponding search strategies and quick matches from content search data that are being searched. The search strategies and quick matches that are listed are dynamically updated as the user inputs additional characters in the Find dialog box. At any time, the user can initiate a full text search to populate a search results pane, based upon the characters input, by selecting a Go control or pressing the Enter key. Alternatively, the user can select one of the quick matches or search strategies, to populate the search results pane with corresponding items obtained from the content search data, which are most likely to relate to the information desired by the user. This approach is applicable to finding information in almost any data accessed locally, or over a network.
