DISCOVERY OF INACCESSIBLE COMPUTER RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving at a search portal user input from an input device, the input associated with a user object and requesting a search of resources in one or more computer databases;
sending a request to a search engine to perform the search;
receiving search results from the search engine in response to the request; and
displaying on a computer display at least a portion of the search results from the search of the resources, the displayed search results including one or more representations of one or more resources to which the user object currently has access, and one or more representations of one or more resources to which the user object does not currently have access.

Abstract
A request for a search of computer resources can be received at a search engine. The search of the resources can be conducted, and search results can be produced. The search results can include an accessible resources set, which includes one or more representations of one or more resources to which an object associated with the request has access. The search results can also include a discoverable resources set, which includes one or more representations of one or more resources to which the object does not have access, but does have permission to request access. Additionally, the search results can include a set of one or more identifiers that distinguish between the accessible resources set and the discoverable resources set.

9. A computer system comprising:
-
means for generating a network data structure; means for generating an access control data structure indicating user access permissions to a set of computer resources; means for using the access control data structure to identify one or more accessible computer resources of the set of computer resources, the one or more accessible computer resources being one or more resources to which an object has access; and means for using the network data structure to identify one or more discoverable computer resources of the set of computer resources, the discoverable computer resources being resources to which the object does not have access but to which the object can request access. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
