Abstract
A virtual file system is provided. Results are received of a first search for files related to current context of a user of the virtual file system, the files being stored on physical media and/or other virtual file systems. The results of the first search are organized into contextually significant virtual folders of the virtual file system. A first entry is recorded into a history of path mappings which map location of the files in the virtual folders to locations of the files on the physical media. Results are received of a second search for files related to an updated context of the user of the virtual file system. The organization of contextually significant virtual folders is updated based on the results of the second search, and a second entry is recorded into the history of path mappings based on the updated organization.
