Abstract
Method and associated system for partitioning a collection of databases, by indexing folders within each database, files within each folder, documents within each file, and features (characters, words, phrases, symbols, expressions and image components) with each document so that content and context searching can proceed at any level. Databases need not be mutually exclusive, and a document, file or folder may be referenced in more than one database. One or more documents or files or folders or databases can be added to, or deleted from, the collection without changing the indexing scheme or interpretation assigned to a concatenated index.
