1. A method comprising:
- a client subsystem receiving a set of initial search results from a server subsystem;
a rules engine initiating a scan of the client subsystem to collect technical information associated with the client subsystem; and
the rules engine filtering the set of initial search results at the client subsystem, said filtering step being based on the collected technical information.

Abstract
One embodiment of a method includes the steps of a client subsystem receiving a set of initial search results from a server subsystem, a rule engine initiating a scan of the client subsystem to collect technical information associated with the client subsystem, and the rules engine filtering the set of initial search results at the client subsystem. The filtering step is based on the collected technical information.
