Abstract

Systems and methods for providing search results from large amounts of data and providing navigation within search results are disclosed. A global search across a large number of tables within a cloud infrastructure may return large amounts of data from many different sets of possibly related tables and may take a noticeable time to complete processing. Disclosed techniques provide for iterative searching of table groups (e.g., groups of related tables possibly based on expected content of those tables) and providing results incrementally, possibly based on a priority associated with each table group. Further, results may be displayed in a display format that provides the user with context of where (e.g., in which groups) matching results were obtained.
