Abstract
The invention relates to directing one or more object-based search engines to an object store, which stores information archived according to parametric classifiers. In order for the object-based search engine to access the objects, a special index class, in the form of a SQL table is created. The index class comprises attributes of a part number, an object identification number, an item identifier, a search state attribute, and a search engine identifier, an object being assigned a corresponding value for each attribute and each object being uniquely identified by the item identifier attribute. The search engine is activated depending on the type of data object to be indexed, in accordance with the search state attribute the catalog table. A computer readable medium is provided with program code to implement the above integration.
