1. A method for computerized searches, the method comprising: at a search system embodied on non-transitory computer memory and having a processor and a data storage unit: for each of a plurality of objects, the search system storing metadata values of the plurality of objects in corresponding value storage locations in the data storage unit, wherein each of the stored metadata values is associated with an identifiable metadata field; the search system aggregating or combining indices into a single aggregate index, the indices associated with multiple identifiable metadata fields, each of the multiple identifiable metadata fields retaining, subsequent to the aggregating or combining, a corresponding value storage location in the data storage unit, wherein the aggregate index includes a dictionary of terms and an object list identifying the plurality of objects; the search system enabling a search of the aggregate index for a specific search term in the dictionary of terms; the search system enabling retrieval of one or more of the metadata values from the value storage locations in response to the search of the aggregate index, wherein the retrieved metadata values are associated with ones of the plurality of objects which have metadata values that contain the specific search term; and the search system enabling identification of the metadata fields with which each of the retrieved metadata values is associated.
