The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at an encrypted sharing server and from a source compute device, a share request to share first encrypted index data with a destination compute device. The method includes defining a data record including, (1) information identifying the destination compute device and, (2) a first set of logical block identifiers. The first set of logical block identifiers is generated based on unencrypted index data associated with the first encrypted index data and associated with a first set of storage locations. Each storage location from the first set of storage locations stores at least one index entry from a first set of index entries of the first encrypted index data. The method further includes receiving a search request associated with a search string and sending a signal to cause a subset of index entries to be sent to a destination compute device.”
