System and method for implementing a 64 bit data searching and delivery portal
A system and method for searching and presenting data may include receiving a search request, storing data in an in memory database, accessing that data by one or more 64 bit processors, determining exact or approximate matches among the data to the search request, building a machine-readable data file including the search results, and serving the data file to a user's machine, where it is visible through a portal interface, which may be local or remotely served to the user's machine. The system may employ 64 bit technology in order to access and serve significant amounts of information, including mappings between code set and other data that may include mappings to one or more code sets. The system also may employ raw TCP/IP sockets to reduce latency and increase search speed.
1. A method for searching and presenting data, comprising:
receiving a search query at a computer having a processor;
comparing, by the processor, the query against one or more data repositories for data related to the query, wherein the comparing step includes analyzing the query for an exact or approximate match to one or more entries in a code set; and
serving one or more exact or approximate matches to a user;
wherein the code set is stored in a database;
wherein the code set includes at least one domain, a plurality of concepts within the at least one domain, and a plurality of descriptions also within the at least one domain;
wherein a description is an alternative way to express a concept; and

9. The method for searching and presenting data of claim 1 , further comprising:
pushing time deferred tasks to a queuing service;
wherein the comparing step is performed by a search service, and
wherein the time deferred tasks are not performed by the search service.
10. The method for searching and presenting data of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving and processing, by a messaging service, the time deferred tasks from the queuing service.
11. A system for searching and presenting data, comprising;
a server having one or more processors, wherein each processor has a 64-bit wide register;
one or more communication connectivity means on the server configured to receive search queries and serve search results;
a database storing a code set; and
a search service configured to analyze the search queries, compare the search queries against the code set, and serve exact or approximate matches to machines that originated the search queries;
wherein the code set includes at least one domain, a plurality of concepts within the at least one domain, and a plurality of descriptions also within the at least one domain,
wherein a description is an alternative way to express a concept.
12. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , wherein the database is an in memory database.
13. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , wherein the communication connectivity means are TCP/IP sockets or WCF connections.
14. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , wherein the search service is configured to serve results in a machine-readable file format.
15. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 14 , wherein the file format is XML or JSON.
16. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , wherein the database also is configured to store mappings between the code set and another code set.
17. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 16 ,
wherein mappings are made between concepts in the code set and entries in the other code set.
18. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 ,
wherein the database is configured to store additional data, the additional data tagged with one or more codes in the code set;
wherein the system is configured, in response to a search request, to identify data tagged with the one or more exact or approximate matches and to serve at least some of the identified data to the user.
19. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , further comprising:
a plurality of servers configured to receive search queries and return search results,
wherein the system is configured to direct a user's query to the server closest geographically to the user's computer and to redirect the query to another server if that server has insufficient resources to fulfill the query promptly.
20. The system for searching and presenting data of claim 11 , further comprising:
a queuing service; and
a messaging service;
wherein the system is configured to push time deferred tasks to the queuing service;
wherein the messaging service configured to receive the time deferred tasks from the queuing service and to processing the time deferred tasks; and
wherein the search service is configured to not process the time deferred tasks.
