METHODS, MEDIA, AND SYSTEMS FOR MULTI-PARTY SEARCHES

Abstract:

Methods, media and systems for providing search results are disclosed. A data set is received at a computing device of a first party from a client device associated with a second party. The data set is constructed based on a set of rules established by the second party, where one portion is inaccessible to the first party, while another portion is accessible to the first party. The accessible portion includes at least an information tag or a threshold value related to corresponding fields in the records. A set of records to be queried is eliminated based on at least one information tag or at least one threshold value. The remainder is searched at the computing device of the first party resulting in a set of search results. At least a portion of the search results are transmitted from the computing device of the first party to the second party.
