Attributes may be attached to special entries called directories. Directories enable searching for objects by their associated attributes. Directories are a type of context; they restrict the name space much like a directory structure on a file system does.

Famous quotes containing the word searching:
“Through searching out origins, one becomes a crab. The historian looks backwards, and finally he also believes backwards.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I have been searching history to see if really a woman has any precedent to claim the right to have her rights, and I am compelled to say that we men are not so much ahead of women after all, and the only way we have kept our reputation up is by keeping her down—and don’t you forget it!”
—George E. Foster, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 38-41 (October 1886)
“Abode where lost bodies roam each searching for its lost one.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
