Indexing and querying data stores using concatenated terms

摘要

Tools and techniques for indexing and querying data stores using concatenated terms are provided. These tools may receive input queries that include at least two query terms. The query terms are correlated respectively with fields contained within records within a data store, with these fields being populated with respective field values. The query terms are arranged according to an indexing priority according to which the fields are ranked within an indexing table, which is associated with the data store. The tools then concatenate the query terms as arranged according to the indexing priority. In turn, the tools search the index table for any entries that are responsive to the concatenated query terms.
