Computer-implemented methods, systems comprising computer-readable media, and electronic devices for completing queries propagated across a plurality of datasources

A system for completing a unified search query propagated across a plurality of datasources utilizing a plurality of structures, a plurality of syntaxes and a plurality of formats, the query completion system comprising one or more processors individually or collectively programmed to:

• receive a search query comprising a search string via an application user interface;
• receive identity information regarding an end user associated with the search query;
• determine at least one role of the end user;
• append authorization metadata corresponding to the at least one role to the search query;
• invoke a plurality of adapters corresponding to the plurality of datasources and pass the appended search query to the plurality of adapters;
• translated search queries respectively corresponding to the plurality of datasources, each of the plurality of translated search queries conforming to the respective structure, syntax and format of one of the plurality of datasources thereby enabling propagation of the appended search query across the plurality of datasources;
• submit the translated search queries to the corresponding plurality of datasources;
• receive and present results responsive to the translated search queries at an end user computing device;
• and
• append results metadata to the responsive results.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions for completing a unified search query propagated across a plurality of datasources and utilizing a plurality of structures, a plurality of syntaxes and a plurality of formats, wherein when executed by at least one processor the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a search query comprising a search string via an application user interface;
• receive identity information regarding an end user associated with the search query;
• determine at least one role of the end user;
• append authorization metadata corresponding to the at least one role to the search query;
• invoke a plurality of adapters corresponding to the plurality of datasources and pass the appended search query to the plurality of adapters;
• translated search queries respectively corresponding to the plurality of datasources, each of the plurality of translated search queries conforming to the respective structure, syntax and format of one of the plurality of datasources thereby enabling propagation of the appended search query across the plurality of datasources;
• submit the translated search queries to the corresponding plurality of datasources;
• receive and present results responsive to the translated search queries at an end user computing device;
• and
• append results metadata to the responsive results.
