retrievability
Ability to recover
Retrievability is the quality of being able to be retrieved—found, accessed, or recovered when needed.
The term appears most often in information science and computing, where it describes how easily data or documents can be located: The system's poor retrievability frustrated researchers.
Memory studies also use it to describe how accessible stored information is to recall.
