Abstract
A system and method for providing access to data stored in a personal storage medium includes receiving a search query from a searching entity for searching for the data, determining if the data includes data stored in the personal storage medium of a user, upon determining that the data includes data stored in the personal storage medium, determining if the user has consented to provide access to the data to the searching entity and if so, searching a search index associated with the personal storage medium for the data, and providing one or more search results or a notification that no search results were identified to the searching entity.
