    Abstract: Multi-user computer search system with methodology for bypassing instant indexing of documents. In some embodiments, for example, a system for bypassing instant indexing includes a token store storing a set of token for a current version of a document and a tokenizer server configured to tokenize a new version of the document and to generate a set of tokens for the new version of the document. The system further includes an instant indexer server configured to determine tokens to index the document by based on identified differences between the set of tokens for the new version of the document and the set of tokens for the current version of the document, to determine whether the new version of the document is a bypass document version or non-bypass document version, and to generate an index mutation for the new version of the document including a specification of whether the generated index mutation is a bypass index mutation or a non-bypass index mutation based on whether the new version of the document is a bypass document version or non-bypass document version. The system also includes an index mutation server configured to provide the generated index mutation to an index server, if the generated index mutation is a non-bypass index mutation, or not provide the generated index mutation to the index server, if the generated index mutation is a bypass index mutation.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of querying an event log of a user. The systems and methods can include receiving a search request pertaining to at least a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces and determining a first index server storing a first portion of the event log associated with the first namespace, the first index server being one of a plurality of index servers, each of the plurality of index servers storing a portion of the event log pertaining to at least one namespace of the plurality of namespaces. The systems and method can further include searching, the first portion of the event log stored at the first index server and determining a payload based on the search results of the first portion of the event logs. Finally, the systems and methods can include applying one or more attribute filters to the payload and sending the filtered payload.

    Abstract: A multi-user search system with methodology for instant indexing. In one embodiment, for example, a system for instant indexing includes a token store storing sets of tokens for current versions of documents. The system further includes a tokenizer server configured to tokenize new versions of the documents and to generate sets of tokens for the new versions of the documents, an instant indexer configured to determine tokens to use to index the documents based on identified differences between the sets of tokens for the new versions of the documents and the sets of tokens for the current versions of the documents, and to generate index mutations including the tokens to use to index the documents, an index mutation journal configured to store the generated index mutations in association with timestamps, and an index mutation server configured to provide, to index servers, from the index mutation journal, generated index mutations for the index servers that are associated with timestamps that are newer than specified timestamps.

    Abstract translation: 具有即时索引方法的多用户搜索系统。 在一个实施例中,例如,用于即时索引的系统包括存储用于当前版本的文档的令牌集的令牌存储器。 所述系统还包括令牌化器服务器,其被配置为对所述文档的新版本进行标记,并为所述文档的新版本生成一组令牌,所述即时索引器被配置为基于所述文档的所述组之间的所识别的差异来确定用于对所述文档进行索引的令牌 用于文档的新版本的令牌和用于当前版本的文档的令牌集合,并且生成包括用于索引文档的令牌的索引突变,索引突变日志被配置为将生成的索引突变与 时间戳和索引变异服务器,其被配置为向索引服务器提供索引变异日志,为与指定的时间戳新的时间戳相关联的索引服务器生成索引突变。

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of querying a hybrid event index of a user. The systems and methods can include receiving a search request pertaining to at least a first namespace of a plurality of namespaces and determining a first index server storing a first portion of the hybrid event index associated with the first namespace. The systems and methods can further include searching, the first portion of the hybrid event index stored at the first index server, determining one or more attributes from the search request, and determining a payload based on the search results of the first portion of the hybrid event index. Finally, the systems and methods can include applying one or more attributes to the payload and sending the filtered payload.

    Abstract: A content management system rendering a file sharing GUI on a first device which is communicatively coupled to a content management system and associated with a first user having an account with the content management system. A file to be shared with a second user is identified in response to the file being selected and dragged. In response to the file being identified, a contact section displaying contact icons is rendered. The selected file is released on a displayed contact icon and a user identifier, e.g., an email address or account, associated with the displayed contact icon is identified. In response to the user identifier being identified, the selected file is shared with a second user associated with the user identified.

    Abstract: Enable using a user computer to search the user's personal content items hosted by an online content management service, the online content management service having an indexer computer configured to generate a base index of the user's content items hosted by the service, a base index server computer configured to transmit the generated base index over a network to the user computer, an index mutation generator computer configured to generate index mutations for subsequent changes to user's hosted content items, and an index mutation sever computer configured to transmit the generated index mutations over the network to the user computer. In one aspect, the system and method enable searches of the user's hosted content items and changes thereto to be conducted at the user computer using an index local to the user computer constructed based on the base index and the index mutations received by the user computer.
