A method for searching and resource discovery in a distributed enterprise (DE), the method including: generating a first classifier for a first repository in the DE; generating a second classifier for a second repository in the DE, where the second classifier has a vector element identifying a location of the second repository; submitting a copy of the second classifier to a web server of the first repository; obtaining a resource at the first repository after submitting the copy of the second classifier; matching the resource to the copy of a second classifier; sending a copy of the resource to the second repository using the vector element; and storing the copy of the resource in the second repository.
