摘要

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system searches content managed by a search engine. The system receives a relational database type query, translates the relational database type query into a query for the search engine, and submits the translated query to the search engine to retrieve information. The system formats resulting information from the search engine into a relational database query result set. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for searching content managed by a search engine in substantially the same manners described above.
