Abstract

In one embodiment, objects captured over a network can be queried using a graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the graphical user interface (GUI) includes a search editor to enable a user to author and edit a search that mines objects captured by a capture system. In one embodiment, the graphical user also includes a capture rule editor a to enable a user to author and edit a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.

Claims (25)

1 . A graphical user interface (GUI) for a capture system, the GUI comprising:

a search editor to enable a user to author and edit a search that mines objects captured by the capture system.

2 . The GUI of claim 1 , wherein the search editor is configured to enable the user to author the search to include both indexed and non-indexed search criteria.

3 . The GUI of claim 1 , wherein the search editor enables the user to specify one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including a content type, a protocol, keywords, and word patterns.

4 . The GUI of claim 3 , wherein the search criteria further include a source address, a destination address, a size range, and a temporal range.

5 . The GUI of claim 1 , wherein the search editor enables the user to specify one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including an email source, an email destination, and email carbon copy, an email subject, and message keywords.

6 . The GUI of claim 1 , further comprising a capture rule editor a to enable a user to author and edit a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.

7 . A method comprising:

providing search editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a search that mines objects captured by the capture system.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein providing search editing capabilities comprises allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including a content type, a protocol, keywords, and word patterns.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the search criteria further include a source address, a destination address, a size range, and a temporal range.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein providing search editing capabilities comprises allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including an email source, an email destination, and email carbon copy, an email subject, and message keywords.

11 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising providing capture rule editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.

12 . A system comprising:

means for providing search editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a search that mines objects captured by the capture system.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the means for providing search editing capabilities comprises means for allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including a content type, a protocol, keywords, and word patterns.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the search criteria further include a source address, a destination address, a size range, and a temporal range.

15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the means for providing search editing capabilities comprises means for allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including an email source, an email destination, and email carbon copy, an email subject, and message keywords.

16 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising means for providing capture rule editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.

17 . A computer-readable medium storing data representing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

providing search editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a search that mines objects captured by the capture system.

18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instruction cause the processor to provide search editing capabilities by allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including a content type, a protocol, keywords, and word patterns.

19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the search criteria further include a source address, a destination address, a size range, and a temporal range.

20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to provide search editing capabilities by allowing inputting one or more of a plurality of search criteria, the search criteria including an email source, an email destination, and email carbon copy, an email subject, and message keywords.

21 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to provide capture rule editing capabilities to allow authoring and editing of a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.
