Abstract

A distributed search system including a group of nodes assigned to different partitions, each partition storing a partial index for a group of documents. At least one of the nodes receives a search request from a user, sends the search request to a set of nodes, receives partial results from the set of nodes and creates a combined result from the partial results. The combined result includes results from a node in each partition.
