A computer-implemented method is provided, for retrieving data and metadata according to a data harvesting criteria into an indexed repository, comprising providing a user interface allowing a user to define data harvesting criteria for adjusting a subset of data and metadata on an indexed repository. Responsive to a user utilizing the user interface by defining the data harvesting criteria, the subset of data and metadata on the indexed repository is adjusted according to the data harvesting criteria.

Incrementally retrieving data for objects to provide a desired level of detail

A computer-implemented system for searching includes a data store accessible via a network for storing a data set; an indexing system coupled to the network and indexing the data set, the indexing system configured to generate content vectors for terms in the data set; generate index vectors for terms in the data set; and generate a bitset signature from the index vector. The system further includes a search module coupled to the network and configured to receive a search query and perform a search on one or more terms in the search query by accessing a bitset signature and content vector corresponding to the term; retrieving bitset signatures that are within a predetermined closeness to the bitset signature; selecting content vectors corresponding to retrieved bitset signatures; and selecting content vectors that are within a predetermined similarity to the term content vector; and return the terms corresponding to the content vectors.
