Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for searching a graph representing content of digital objects. A set of operations for traversing the graph may be determined according to a search request. The set of operations may be executed, resulting in intermediate result vectors of nodes and a result vector of nodes, wherein the result vector of nodes is associated with a result set of one or more object units of the digital objects. Intermediate result vectors may be selected from of the intermediate result vectors. A set of result entities may be identified. The set of result entities are entities which are part of the object units and part of entities represented by nodes of said selected intermediate result vectors. The set of result entities and the result set of object units may be provided as a result of the search request.
