System and method for selectively indexing file system content
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a storage device configured to store data; and
a file system configured to manage access to said storage device and to store file system content, wherein said file system content includes a file associated with a pathname; and
a search engine configured to construct an index of said file system content, wherein constructing said index includes generating index information associated with said file;
wherein in response to said file being moved or renamed, said search engine is further configured to preserve existing index information associated with said file without regenerating said existing index information.

Abstract
A system and method for selectively indexing file system content. In one embodiment, the system may include a storage device configured to store data and a file system configured to manage access to the storage device and to store file system content, where the file system content may include a file associated with a pathname. The system may further include a search engine configured to construct an index of the file system content, where constructing the index includes generating index information associated with the file. In response to the file being moved or renamed, the search engine may be further configured to preserve existing index information associated with the file without regenerating the existing index information.
