Abstract
Searching in an object-based database system is disclosed. Searching includes identifying one or more matching objects matching one or more terms of a search request in a search index and executing one or more return path methods associated with each of the one or more matching objects. Each of the one or more return path methods traverses an object tree and returns a parent object. The parent object is added to a list of search result parent objects. Searching further includes ranking the list of search result parent objects according to a ranking function and providing the ranked list of search result parent objects.
