1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining a dataset of audio/visual (“A/V”) machine data, wherein the A/V machine data includes A/V content produced by a component within an information technology environment, the A/V content includes images, video, audio, or a combination thereof;
annotating a particular segment of the AN machine data of the dataset with a textual annotation, the textual annotation having text that describes the A/V content;
indexing an event to produce indexed text data including at least the textual annotation associated with the particular segment;
associating the indexed text data with a uniform resource identifier (URI) to a storage location of the AN content corresponding with the particular segment;
identifying at least one keyword, derived from the textual annotation of the indexed text data, to index with the associated URI to the storage location of the A/V content corresponding with the particular segment; and
storing, as a new entry in a text-based index, the at least one keyword derived from the textual annotation of the indexed text data with the associated URI to the storage location of the AN content corresponding with the particular segment, wherein the text-based index includes textual content.
