Abstract

A system for viewing and indexing mark up language messages, forms, and documents that have been stored in a document repository. The viewer and indexer can search the document repository based on any of a variety of search parameters, including any field of each message, form or document in the document repository. The viewer and indexer can automatically configure itself based on an input schema to create a user interface having search term options that can be selected to cause a search to be performed in the document repository (and/or mirrored and local repositories) containing messages, documents and forms created based on the same input schema.

Claims

1. A computer program for indexing and searching mark up language instances, the computer program being embodied on a computer-readable medium, the program comprising:

a first code segment for receiving and processing user input relating to a search to be performed for a mark up language instance;

a second code segment for generating a user interface based on one or more schema input to an input logic, wherein the mark up language schemas are based on a predefined rule set and correspond to mark up language instances to be indexed and searched and wherein the user interface includes one or more search term options dynamically generated based on the mark up language schema input into the input logic;

a third code segment for searching one or more document repositories based on a selection of one or more of said search term options; and

a fourth code segment for displaying a result of the search on a display device.

2. The computer program of claim 1, wherein the third code segment searches a plurality of document repositories.

3. The computer program of claim 2, wherein the document repositories are distributed over a distributed network.

4. The computer program of claim 1, wherein the second code segment uses schema from a mark up language instance contained in a document repository to generate the user interface.
