Patent ID: 8688702

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for searching a dynamic data source using a static search engine, comprising: under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, receiving a request to search for content, the request including at least one first attribute associated with static data stored in one or more static data sources and at least one second attribute associated with dynamic data stored in one or more dynamic data sources; creating an external query including at least the at least one second attribute associated with the dynamic data; retrieving the dynamic data from the one or more dynamic data sources corresponding at least in part to the external query and the static data from the one or more static data sources corresponding at least in part to the at least one first attribute; filtering the retrieved dynamic data to obtain a subset of the retrieved dynamic data, each of the subset of the retrieved dynamic data associated with a respective public document identifier that matches a public document identifier associated with one of the retrieved static data; and returning search results comprising a combination of the subset of the retrieved dynamic data and the retrieved static data in response to the request.
