Method and apparatus for exploiting master-detail data relationships to enhance searching operations
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for exploiting a master-detail relationship between a first structured data and at least one second structured data to enhance searching operations of a database containing the first data structure and the at least one second data structure, comprising:
- accessing a first structured data and at least one second structured data of the database, wherein the first structured data and the at least one second structured data have a master-detail relationship; and
in response to orthogonal data filter characteristics, augmenting the first structured data with information related to the at least one second structured data to enhance searching of the database.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for exploiting a master-detail relationship between a first structured data and at least one second structured data to enhance searching operations of a database containing the first data structure and the at least one second data structure, comprising accessing a first structured data and at least one second structured data of the database; and in response to orthogonal data filter characteristics, augmenting the first structured data with information related to the at least one second structured data to enhance searching of the database.

14. A computer readable medium for storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to perform a method for exploiting a master-detail relationship between a first structured data and at least one second structured data to enhance searching operations of a database containing the first data structure and the at least one second data structure, comprising:
-
accessing a first structured data and at least one second structured data of the database, wherein the first structured data and the at least one second structured data have a master-detail relationship; and in response to orthogonal data filter characteristics, augmenting the first structured data with information related to the at least one second structured data to enhance searching of the database. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
