Abstract

Techniques for searching using metadata indexing. In some implementations, a computing device receives data indicating a search request from a client device. The computing device analyzes the received data indicating the search request to determine content of the search request. The computing device receives one or more dossiers based on the content of the search query. The computing device identifies metadata and one or more index templates corresponding to each of the one or more retrieved dossiers. The computing device determines one or more matches between the data indicating the search query to the metadata and the one or more index templates corresponding to each of the one or more retrieved dossiers. The computing device generates search results that include the one or more matches based on characteristics of a type of match and weight values applied to each of the one or more matches based on the characteristics of the type of the match. The computing device provides data indicating the search results to the client device.
