Abstract

A method for indexing objects in a computerized system having an index, comprising identifying in the computerized system an at least one indexed object that meets an at least one criterion related to contents of the at least one indexed object, detecting an at least one non-indexed object having a property similar to an at least one property of the at least one indexed object that was identified, and indexing the at least one non-indexed object in the index, wherein the method is performed by the computerized system, and an apparatus for performing the same.

Claims

1. A method for a post-search indexing of objects in a computerized system having an index, comprising:

based on the index, searching for indexed objects in the computerized system according to an at least one criterion related to contents of the objects and received from a computer that is linked to the computerized system;

identifying in the computerized system an at least one indexed object that meets the at least one criterion;

detecting an at least one non-indexed object having a property similar to least one property of the at least one indexed object;

receiving from a computer a selection of at least one of the detected non-indexed objects for proceeding with indexing of a selected at least one non-indexed object and postponing indexing of other detected non-indexed objects;

according to the selection, performing indexing of the selected at least one non-indexed object and providing the computer with a representation thereof, and scheduling for a subsequent indexing of the other at least one non-indexed object, and

based on the indexing of the selected at least one non-indexed object, re-searching for indexed objects in the computerized system according to the at least one criterion,

wherein the method is performed by the computerized system.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein following the subsequent indexing a user of the computer is notified about the at least one non-indexed object that is subsequently indexed.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the representation is provided only when the at least one non-indexed object that is subsequently indexed meets the at least one criterion.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the computer is notified only when the at least one non-indexed object that is subsequently indexed meets the at least one criterion.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one criterion comprises a plurality of criteria.
