Abstract
A generic key, for allowing a data use to efficiently search a set of user data recorded in blocks in an efficient method using a multiplicity of user keys. As user data blocks are built up for recording, the unique identifiers are placed in the header of the data block, recorded on the disk surface with the contents stored on the device and the platter index. The user can then sort and search the index based upon which of the multiplicity of user keys he selects.
