The Search Definition Object

The Search Definition object identifies a group of search categories on which you can perform searches. Each Siebel application (for example, Call Center or eService) comes configured with a predefined search definition. The search definition is specified in the application .cfg file or name server, and is used at run time to load the appropriate search categories.

Search Definition Rules and Assumptions

• Multiple search categories that refer to the same search index cannot be associated with the same search definition.
• You must specify a name for the Search definition, and also specify the sort specification. The Sort Specification contains result fields.
