Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a print job archive optimized for searching by a specific server. The system includes a memory and an indexing controller. The indexing controller generates an archive for print jobs, by determining a number of Central Processing Unit (CPU) cores that access the archive, and generating table files in the archive equal to the number of CPU cores. The indexing controller also populates the archive by detecting print jobs, generating records that describe the print jobs, and distributing the records such that each table file includes a different set of records. Further, the indexing controller searches the archive by triggering multiple processing threads that each utilize a different CPU core to review a different table file of the archive based on the search request, and reporting a set of records in the archive that match the request.
