Abstract
Techniques for supporting a portable index include, in response to determining that a removable computer-readable storage medium is recently mounted on a particular drive having a particular drive identifier, determining a particular media identifier for the removable computer readable storage medium. Before harvesting metadata from each file of a set of one or more files on the removable computer-readable storage medium, it is determined whether a portable index file is stored on the removable computer-readable storage medium. The portable index file includes, for each file of the set, data that associates the media identifier () and a relative directory path () for one file of the set with metadata () for the one file. If the portable index file is stored, then an index is caused to be retrieved from the portable index file without harvesting metadata from each file of the set.
