Abstract

A method for searching documents including defining a plurality of dimensions with each having dimension values that define users, maintaining documents with each having sections, and determining a user coordinate having a specific set of dimension values. The method further includes assigning dimension values and an associated user coordinate to each section of each document, storing the sections of the documents in a retrievable form, and identifying dimension values associated with the user coordinate in accordance with a filtering methodology. The method further includes displaying the dimension values as menu items in which a user is permitted to access the menu items for the dimension values associated with the user coordinate, and identifying sections of documents that meet the respective dimension values associated with the user coordinate in accordance with the filtering methodology, so that a user is permitted to access sections of the documents that meet the dimension values.
