A method for recovering information from electronic communications, including conveying an indication of a topic of interest, from a searcher on the topic, to a computing system storing a first set of the communications of a first communicator, and searching within the first set, in response to the indication, to identify one or more first communications on the topic of interest, thereby defining a primary sub-set of communications. The method further includes determining identities of one or more second communicators who participated in the primary sub-set, searching within a second set of the communications of the one or more second communicators, in response to the indication, to identify one or more second communications on the topic of interest, thereby defining a secondary sub-set of communications, the second set of the communications being stored in the computing system, and conveying information from the searches to the searcher.
