Base Claim:
1. An information handling system comprising: one or more processors; a memory coupled to at least one of the processors; and a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of: assigning a plurality of security annotation tags to at least one document in a corpus of electronic documents based upon one or more document properties corresponding to the at least one document; building, by the one or more processors processor, an electronic knowledge structure from the corpus of electronic documents, wherein the building further comprises: generating a plurality of term tokens and storing the plurality of term tokens in a plurality of text fields, wherein the plurality of term tokens correspond to a plurality of terms included in the corpus of documents; generating a plurality of security annotation tokens based on the plurality of security annotation tags and storing the plurality of security annotation tokens in a plurality of parallel fields that correspond to the plurality of text fields, wherein each of the plurality of security annotation tokens indicate a security level of one of the plurality of term tokens stored in the corresponding one of the plurality of text fields; and storing the electronic knowledge structure in a memory; matching, by the one or more processors processor, one or more security policies corresponding to a search request to one or more of the plurality of security annotation tokens, wherein the search request is received over a computer network; identifying, by the one or more processors processor, a first subset of the plurality of term tokens that correspond to the matched one or more of the plurality of security annotation tokens and identifying a second subset of the plurality of term tokens not corresponding to the matched one or more of the plurality of security annotation tokens; and generating, by the one or more processors processor, one or more answers to the search request, wherein at least one of the one or more answers provides the second set of term tokens and obfuscates the first subset of term tokens.

Claim 2:
2. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more processors perform additional actions comprising: determining that at least one of the one or more security policies is a search restriction policy corresponding to the matched one or more security annotation tokens; and omitting the first subset of term tokens during a search of the electronic knowledge structure.
