Abstract
An apparatus may map one or more fields from a plurality of tables having a first table type to one or more mapped fields of a single table having a second table type and index the one or more mapped fields to correspond to a single index for the single table having the second table type. The apparatus may execute a first query using the single index corresponding to the one or more mapped fields to output a result for the first query. The apparatus may execute a second query for search activity that has occurred on the database since a last update to the single index and combine the result for the first query with the search activity that has occurred on the database since the last update to the single index to output a combined result based on the second query.
