To efficiently retain data online, an instance of a data set may be generated. The instance may have a set of data fields with corresponding data values. The instance also may be searchable in response to a data selection request. Another instance may be generated, which also may have a set of data fields with corresponding data values, and which also may be searchable in response to a data selection request. The two instances may each use its own blueprint to normalize data, to perform searches and to return search results. Both of the instances may be stored online such that they are stored independently but are accessible jointly.
