Multi-data store content identification and display interface

A system for grouping and displaying query results from multiple data stores, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory including instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive from an input device, a keyword;
• determine a plurality of data stores to search based on the received keyword, wherein each data store of the plurality of data stores includes a different search index;
• generate a data store specific query based on the received keyword that is different for two or more different data stores of the plurality of data stores;
• receive results from the two or more data stores based on respective data store specific queries, wherein results from the two or more data stores include a plurality of file identifiers identifying files located at respective data stores that are relevant to the keyword;
• receive metadata associated with each file identifier of the plurality of file identifiers;
• group the results from the two or more data stores into a plurality of groups based on the metadata associated with each file identifier of the plurality of file identifiers;
• rank the plurality of groups based on a relevancy associated with each group;
• and
• cause information associated with a ranked group of the ranked plurality of groups to be displayed at a user interface.

A computer-readable storage medium including instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive from an input device, a keyword;
• determine a plurality of data stores to search based on the received keyword, wherein each data store of the plurality of data stores includes a different search index;
• generate a data store specific query based on the received keyword that is different for two or more different data stores of the plurality of data stores;
• receive results from the two or more data stores based on respective data store specific queries, wherein results from the two or more data stores include a plurality of file identifiers identifying files located at respective data stores that are relevant to the keyword;
• receive metadata associated with each file identifier of the plurality of file identifiers;
• group the results from the two or more data stores into a plurality of groups based on the metadata associated with each file identifier of the plurality of file identifiers;
• rank the plurality of groups based on a relevancy associated with each group;
• and
• cause information associated with a ranked group of the ranked plurality of groups to be displayed at a user interface.
