Abstract
Method, system, and program product for searching unstructured data. The unstructured data, as text data or image data, is searched by first searching the unstructured data through an extended search broker. The extended search broker has intermediary components between a search requestor and a search agent for unstructured data searching. The search agent returns the search results to the broker for aggregation. The broker aggregates the search results and returns the search results to a wrapper. The wrapper then takes result attributes from the aggregated search results and makes the attributes available, e.g., as one or more columns in a nickname table. This nickname table is searchable by a relational database using a structured query language.
