Abstract
A searchable storage system indexes data, such as a blob (binary large object) as it is stored. The indexes are stored simultaneously with the data by the same storage mechanism. Data cannot be stored without indexing it. Any indexing technique may be used. The indexes are then used to access the data. This ensures that any inconsistencies can handled at the local level, and are not visible to clients of the system. Data can be put in to, or taken out from, the searchable storage system. Additionally, a query on the data in the searchable storage system may be performed.
