Abstract

Example methods and systems are directed to inverted indexes. According to some examples, an inverted index is generated based on source data and a posting list threshold. The inverted index comprises one or more restricted posting lists. Each restricted posting list has a maximum size corresponding to the posting list threshold. The method may include receiving a search query comprising a value that identifies a restricted posting list of the one or more restricted posting lists. The value may be used to retrieve and return one or more record identifiers from the identified restricted posting list. A record identifier uniquely identifies one of the plurality of records in the source data.
