Data Indexing

/ˈdeɪtə ˈɪndɛksɪŋ/noun
ELI5 mode

Data indexing is the process of organizing and structuring information in a database or search system to allow for fast and efficient retrieval of specific data points. This technique transforms raw data into a searchable format, often using keys or pointers, and has become essential in modern tech for handling massive datasets, like those in e-commerce or social media, where split-second searches can make or break user experience.
