12. A system comprising: an interface configured to provide access to one or more storage devices, wherein each storage device stores one or more storage objects of a set of searchable objects, and each searchable object comprises a plurality of fields of data; a processor, coupled to the interface, wherein the processor is configured to perform a first search in a set of fields of a set of searchable objects, after said first search, map the set of fields to a set of searchable fields accessible by a search center through a search index that corresponds to a configurable field mappings file, wherein the configurable field mappings file provides an abstraction layer between a plurality of search engines and the set of searchable objects, the set of fields comprises a first set of fields that are fewer than all the fields of the searchable objects, the fields of the searchable objects are defined when the searchable objects are designed, said mapping is performed subsequent to the design of the searchable objects, the configurable field mappings file is configured to define a relationship between the fields of the searchable objects and the searchable fields, and modify the set of searchable fields by modifying the fields of searchable objects within the configurable field mappings file, wherein said modifying is based at least in part on a second set of fields that are fewer than all the fields of the searchable objects, and the first and second sets of fields are distinct, and perform a second search in the set of fields; and a search index adapter, coupled to the processor, wherein the search index adapter is configured to generate a search index in response to said modifying the set of searchable fields by modifying the fields of searchable objects within the configurable field mappings file, wherein the second search is based at least in part on the generated search index.

The system of claim 12 wherein the processor is configured to define the first set of fields based at least in part on the configurable field mappings file.
