Abstract

Systems and methods for performing a directory search are described. In one described system, a computer program receives a first search query and causes the first search query to be executed on a directory. The program generates a second search query associated with the first search query and causes the second search query to be executed on a local data store. The program then obtains a first result from the directory, obtains a second result from the local data store, and generates and outputs a result set, the result set comprising the first result and the second result.
