Abstract
Disclosed are methods of searching a list or table of objects during synchronization between first and second object stores. One of the first and second object stores can be a previous synchronization state table. Using the method, a list of objects to be searched for changes and deletions is obtained during synchronization. The list of objects is then searched using as a search parameter an object signature determined as a function of particular properties associated with a particular object. Also disclosed are a computer system which implements the methods of the present invention, and a computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for performing the steps of the methods.
