Creating a Search Index

This step is treated in greater detail in the Siebel Tools Search Object Reference.

NOTE:  There are many search indices that come with each Siebel application by default. If one does not meet your needs, you can create your own.

For more information on the Search Index object, see The Search Index Object.

Creating a Search Table Object

This step is treated in greater detail in the Siebel Tools Search Object Reference.

NOTE:  This step is not required, unless you created a new search index in the previous step.

A search table is the actual physical index maintained by the third-party search engine, Hummingbird. For example, FUL_AUCT is the table created by Hummingbird, which contains an index of auction items. For more information, see The Search Table.

Defining Search Index Fields

This step is treated in greater detail in the Configuration Tasks for Siebel Search.

NOTE:  This step is not required, unless you created a new index, or want to index more fields than are already available.

For more information, see Defining the Search Index Field Maps for Search Tables.

Creating Search Filter Fields

This step is treated in greater detail in the Configuration Tasks for Siebel Search.

NOTE:  This step is not required, unless you created a new index, or you require more filter fields than are already available.

For more information, see Indexing Fields to Enforce Organizational Visibility.
