Abstract

A computerized method optimizes an index of information stored as records of a database in response to queries made to the index. The index is generated by storing index entries in a memory. Each index entry includes a word entry immediately followed by one or more location entries. The word entry encodes a unique portion of information of the records, and the location entries encode occurrences of the unique portion of information in the records. A query phrase is processed, the phrase corresponds to a concatenation of adjacent portions of indexed information. A measure of the amount of time required to process the phrase is recorded in a journal. Periodically, the journal is processed and new index entries are generated for the phrases if the processing of the phrase exceeds some predetermined threshold time.
