Abstract
An integrated database indexing system includes a database containing data and a query source communicably connected to the database. A query router connected to the query source communicates with an index engine. The index engine accesses an index associated with the data in said database. When query source communicates a command to the query router, the query router communicates the command to the index engine such that the index engine identifies result data in the data contained by the database.
