Flexible fully integrated real-time document indexing

Abstract

A system for real-time document indexing is provided that includes a browser that is executing on a client system. The browser includes functionalities allowing it to communicate with a remote computer system. A query interface executes within the framework of the browser. The query interface receives one or more query searches from an end-user and sends the one or more query searches to be processed by the remote computer system. The remote computer system sends to the query interface the results of the one or more query searches via the browser. The query interface assigns the results of the one or more query searches to a folder where the folder includes a unique identifier. The query interface indexes the results of the one or more query searches to the unique identifier of the folder.

Description

PRIORITY INFORMATION[0001]This application claims priority from provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 392,252 filed Oct. 12, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention is related to field of network applications, and in particular to a browser-based document searching and indexing system.[0003]Traditional document management, requiring extensive use of locally attached scanning devices, file servers, databases, and the like, has long been rooted in the technology of yesterday: namely, Windows-based client / server technology. A new era of computing is currently being ushered in; one that revolves around portability, cross platform support, and a new and growing installed base of mobile devices driven by Google, the resurgent Apple Inc. and others. Leveraging this new and increasingly adopted technology environment requires redesigning and, in many cases, reinventing wheels that no longer fit. Unfortunately, the enterpri...
