Search request processing

A method for processing search requests, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing platform, a search request from a client, the search request indicating at least one search parameter;
• determining, at the computing platform, a number of initial search results, wherein each of the initial search results comprise at least one respective essential data piece which corresponds to the at least one search parameter and omit at least one respective non-essential data piece associated with the at least one respective essential data piece;
• returning, by the computing platform, at least a subset of the initial search results to the client, wherein each search result of the subset of the initial search results includes the at least one respective essential data piece and omits the at least one respective non-essential data piece;
• receiving a follow-up search request from the client indicating at least one of the initial search results in the subset of the initial search results;
• computing at least one non-essential data piece for each of the at least one initial search results, in the subset of the initial search results, indicated in the follow-up search request, based on a number of dynamic computation rules;
• and
• returning the computed at least one non-essential data piece for each of the at least one initial search results, in the subset of the initial search results, to the client,
• wherein one or more of:
• computing the at least non-essential data piece requires an amount of computation resources above a given threshold;
• and
• the at least one non-essential data piece is omitted from the initial search results based on a current state of the computing platform.
