Abstract
An integrated search engine includes a hierarchical memory configured to support a plurality of multi-way trees of search keys. These multi-way trees, which share a common root node, support respective databases of search keys. The child pointers associated with search keys within the common root node may be allocated at a single key level of granularity, which means that each search key within the common root node may be associated with a pair of child pointers when each search key within the common root node is associated with a different multi-way tree of search keys.
