Systems and methods for a full text search engine implemented using object storage techniques

摘要

Aspects of the current patent document include systems and methods to perform search in an index system. In one embodiment, an index system may be implemented in an object storage. A distributed database index is used in conjunction with the object storage. In some cases, data stored in the distributed database may be encrypted and moved to object storage. The object storage stores a plurality of blocks containing words. Each block can contain a large number of words, such as one million words.
