What is Searchability?

Searchability describes the state of being searchable or the extent to which something can be searched. In our context however, searchability is one of the four features that contribute to memeticism. Via search engines objects of popular and folk culture are easily found, especially as meta-data tags improves the indexing and curation of digital objects. As such both raw materials and templates for generating objects are easily found.
