Analyzing Found Data in a Distributed Storage and Task Network
First Claim
1. A method comprises:
- establishing data identifying criteria for searching data on a network;
establishing data analyzing criteria for analyzing found data of the data on the network;
establishing distributed computing criteria based on the data identifying criteria and the data analyzing criteria;
distributing the data identifying criteria and the data analyzing criteria to a set of distributed storage and task (DST) units in accordance with the distributed computing criteria;
receiving a set of network data partial resultants from the set of DST units, wherein the set of DST units generates the set of network data partial resultants based on searching the data on the network in accordance with the data identifying criteria to produce the found data and analyzing the found data in accordance with the data analyzing criteria; and
processing the set of network data partial resultants to produce a network data resultant regarding the data on the network.

Abstract
A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module establishing data identifying criteria for searching data on a network, establishing data analyzing criteria for analyzing found data of the data on the network, and establishing distributed computing criteria. The method continues with the DS processing module distributing the data identifying criteria and the data analyzing criteria to a set of distributed storage and task (DST) units. The method continues with the DS processing module receiving a set of network data partial resultants from the set of DST units, wherein the set of DST units generates the set of network data partial results in accordance with the data identifying criteria to produce found data and analyzing the found data in accordance with the data analyzing criteria. The method continues with the DS processing module processing the set of network data partial resultants to produce a network data resultant.
