Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards a method for searching data. The method comprises providing an inverted index that comprises at least one record, wherein the at least one record comprises at least one field name and a corresponding at least one field value. The at least one field name and corresponding value are extracted from time-stamped searchable events that are stored in a field searchable datastore and comprise portions of raw data. The at least one record further comprises a posting value that identifies a location in the field searchable datastore where an event associated with the at least one record is stored. The method further comprises evaluating an incoming search query that references a field name. Responsive to the evaluating, the method comprises determining results for the incoming search query by executing the incoming search query across the field searchable datastore or the inverted index.
