Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include storing multiple files to a file-level storage system that includes one or more storage devices, and maintaining, by the file-level storage system, one or more searchable indexes for the multiple files, each of the indexes indexing a respective key field. In some embodiments the file-level storage system may be configured as a network attached storage system. Upon receiving, via a network, a search query from a computer, the file-level storage system can identify, using the one or more searchable indexes, one or more of the multiple files that match the search query, and convey, to the computer, the respective name and the respective location of each of the one or more identified files. In some embodiments, the file-level storage system includes a web server exposing a representational state transfer application programming interface.
