"For the search on the history of your planet, there's a protocol called Skein of Finches that a lot of financial analysts use, to avoid tipping people off about the investments they're considering. The details of implementation vary depending on time and place, of course, but it bounces the search through a few planets and encrypts at every stage. Of course the Shuos optimize the search tools they can monitor directly, so it will be a little slower, but with all the uncertainty in usual lattice use you might not even notice the difference. Aymad should be able to set you up--tell him I authorized rolling out the tool for everyone."
The Rahal question is more interesting, and potentially more complicated. "For your Rahal materials, it's possible that they did fail to purge your information, but it's also possible that they've left something working as a honeypot. I'd want to be very careful, which probably means faking an access attempt in a different system and waiting to see if anyone responds. More general information about the type of credentials they were using could be very helpful, though. You should probably sit down with Aymad and walk him through what you remember."
