How to incorporate the optional features into the title of the patent? For example, let's say I'm drafting a patent for searching a data collection and the search can optionally work on local or remote (think: cloud) items in the data collection, and additionally the search can optionally work on encrypted or unencrypted items in the data collection. Should the full title be short, e.g. 'searching a data collection', or should it be longer, e.g. 'searching an optionally local or remote and optionally encrypted data collection' ?
And if I describe the more difficult process -- searching in a remote encrypted data collection -- and do not describe all other combinations of feature options because they are obvious after reading how the more difficult process works, and never-the-less write claims for all the combinations. Is that enough / correct?
