COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS, SYSTEMS COMPRISING COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES FOR QUERYING RESTRICTED-ACCESS DATASOURCES

摘要

A computer-implemented method for propagating queries across a plurality of datasources that includes receiving user input via an administrative user interface. The input at least in part defines a plurality of asset paths within the datasources. A plurality of adapters corresponding to the datasources is automatically invoked and the input is automatically consolidated via the adapters for collective invocation in response to queries. A search query is received via an application user interface and the datasources are automatically queried at least in part by invoking the adapters and passing the input and the search query to the adapters. Responsive results for the search query from at least one of the datasources are automatically presented at an end user computing device.
