Abstract

A method may include generating word string vectors for word strings in a document, obtaining encrypted word string vectors by encrypting the word string vectors, generating a search vector for a search query, obtaining an encrypted search vector by encrypting the search vector, calculating encrypted distances between the encrypted word string vectors and the encrypted search vector, obtaining a decrypted distance by decrypting an encrypted distance, and using the decrypted distance, determining a semantic match between the search query and the document.
