1. A computer-implemented method comprising: a host computer dynamically generating and assigning one or more volume attributes to describe each volume of a plurality of volumes of a storage system, wherein each volume is a storage area comprising a plurality of disks; the host computer dynamically generating and assigning one or more search terms that describe each of the generated volume attributes; storing the one or more generated volume attributes and the one or more generated search terms within a local database; receiving a search query request that includes a first search term to be used to perform a search of the local database; in response to receiving the search query, searching the local database using the first search term; and in response to identifying, within the local database, at least one search term from among the generated search terms that is associated with the first search term: identifying, from the local database, at least one volume attribute of the one or more volume attributes that is associated with the at least one search term; and retrieving one or more volumes associated with the at least one volume attribute.
