    recording, by at least one processor and in a storage medium, said identified one or more user-specific naming patterns in at least one of a naming patterns file (NPF), database, and lookup table;

    creating, by at least one processor, a modified copy of the metadata wherein at least a portion of the original metadata created by the first user are modified, based on the recorded user-specific naming patterns, to improve searchability of the plurality of documents by other users;

    storing the modified copy of the metadata in association with the plurality of documents; and
