Abstract

Technologies pertaining to computing a tiering policy that defines how digital items are desirable stored across a plurality of different storage tiers are described herein. A data repository that comprises data that is indicative of historic user interaction with a search engine is accessed. Subsequently, a tiering policy for digital items that are retrievable by way of the search engine is computed based at least in part upon the data that is indicative of the historic user interaction with the search engine. Retrieval times for digital items in the data storage tiers differ across the data storage tiers.
