Computer-implemented methods, systems comprising computer-readable media, and electronic devices for completing queries propagated across a plurality of datasources

1. A computer-implemented method for completing queries propagated across a plurality of datasources comprising, via one or more transceivers and/or processors:

receiving a search query comprising a search string via an application user interface;

receiving identity information regarding an end user associated with the search query;

automatically determining at least one role of the end user;

automatically appending authorization metadata corresponding to the at least one role to the search query;

automatically invoking a plurality of adapters corresponding to the plurality of datasources and passing the appended search query to the plurality of adapters;

automatically translating the appended search query, via the plurality of adapters, into a plurality of translated search queries according to the syntax and format configurations of the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically submitting the translated search queries to the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically receiving and presenting results responsive to the translated search queries at an end user computing device; and

automatically appending results metadata to the responsive results, the results metadata including usage metrics for the at least one role as calculated across a plurality of end users, costs associated with user access, and asset format age.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identity information is obtained by automatically translating a security token.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein translating the appended search query includes translating at least one term of the search string via a semantic matching operator.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein translating the appended search query includes generating a plurality of security tokens corresponding to the plurality of datasources based on the authorization metadata.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising—

automatically determining a plurality of ranking positions corresponding to the responsive results based at least in part on the results metadata using a default ranking algorithm;

automatically overriding a ranking position of the plurality of ranking positions based on a business rule.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically determining that the responsive results have been generated and generating a corresponding notification for transmission to the end user computing device.

7. A system for completing queries propagated across a plurality of datasources, the query completion system comprising one or more processors individually or collectively programmed to:

receive a search query comprising a search string via an application user interface;

receive identity information regarding an end user associated with the search query;

automatically determine at least one role of the end user;

automatically append authorization metadata corresponding to the at least one role to the search query;

automatically invoke a plurality of adapters corresponding to the plurality of datasources and pass the appended search query to the plurality of adapters;

automatically translate the appended search query, via the plurality of adapters, into a plurality of translated search queries according to the syntax and format configurations of the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically submit the translated search queries to the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically receive and present results responsive to the translated search queries at an end user computing device; and

automatically append results metadata to the responsive results, the results metadata including usage metrics for the at least one role as calculated across a plurality of end users, costs associated with user access, and asset format age.

8. The query completion system of claim 7 , wherein the identity information is obtained by automatically translating a security token.

9. The query completion system of claim 7 , wherein translating the appended search query includes translating at least one term of the search string via a semantic matching operator.

10. The query completion system of claim 7 , wherein translating the appended search query includes generating a plurality of security tokens corresponding to the plurality of datasources based on the authorization metadata.

11. The query completion system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further individually or collectively programmed to—

automatically determine a plurality of ranking positions corresponding to the responsive results based at least in part on the results metadata using a default ranking algorithm;

automatically override a ranking position of the plurality of ranking positions based on a business rule.

12. The query completion system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further individually or collectively programmed to automatically determine that the responsive results have been generated and generate a corresponding notification for transmission to the end user computing device.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions for completing queries propagated across a plurality of datasources stored thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

receive a search query comprising a search string via an application user interface;

receive identity information regarding an end user associated with the search query;

automatically determine at least one role of the end user;

automatically append authorization metadata corresponding to the at least one role to the search query;

automatically invoke a plurality of adapters corresponding to the plurality of datasources and pass the appended search query to the plurality of adapters;

automatically translate the appended search query, via the plurality of adapters, into a plurality of translated search queries according to the syntax and format configurations of the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically submit the translated search queries to the corresponding plurality of datasources;

automatically receive and present results responsive to the translated search queries at an end user computing device; and

automatically append results metadata to the responsive results, the results metadata including usage metrics for the at least one role as calculated across a plurality of end users, costs associated with user access, and asset format age.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the identity information is obtained by automatically translating a security token.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein translating the appended search query includes translating at least one term of the search string via a semantic matching operator.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein translating the appended search query includes generating a plurality of security tokens corresponding to the plurality of datasources based on the authorization metadata.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to—

automatically determine a plurality of ranking positions corresponding to the responsive results based at least in part on the results metadata using a default ranking algorithm;

automatically override a ranking position of the plurality of ranking positions based on a business rule.
