Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for locating data and categorizing a set of data using inverted indexes. The inverted indexes include token entries and field-value pair entries, as well as event references that correspond to events that include raw machine data. Using filter criteria, the inverted indexes are identified. In turn, the inverted indexes are used to identify a set of events that satisfy the filter criteria. The identified set of events are categorized based on categorization criteria and provided for display to a user.
