Abstract: The disclosure relates to searching data in multiple separate databases, such as searching data spread over the internet in different cloud based services. In one aspect, a method of performing a search action on data that is distributed in multiple data storages, includes collecting copies of standard objects associated with the entity from at least one of the data storages, storing the copies, reading information in the copies including information about the objects and storing the information in an index. The method may also include performing a single search action in the archive comprising the copies using the index. Because the archive comprises copies of the data, performing a search action in the archive corresponds to performing the search action in the multiple data storages. Hence, a simple way of performing a unified search on distributed data is provided.
