Abstract
A method and system provides efficient data searches. The method and system include receiving search request data that requests a search to be made and identifying multiple search terms or clauses in the search request data. The method and system includes determining an expected cost in resources for searching each search term. The method and system then searches for each search term in order from least resource intensive to most resource intensive, with each search after the first search being performed only among the results of the previously searched term(s).
