In this paper we settle several longstanding open problems intheory of indexability and external orthogonal range searching In the rst part of the paper we apply the theory ofindexability to the problem of twodimensional range searching We show that the special case of sided querying canbe solved with constant redundancy and access overheadFrom this we derive indexing schemes for general sidedrange queries that exhibit an optimal tradeo between redundancy and access overhead.
