About the Search Center

The Siebel Search function improves the capabilities of the search engine, providing faster performance across a broad data set and offering a more intuitive interface through which you can harness its power. With Siebel Search Center, customers' large and diverse knowledge repositories are made available to you in a central, transparent, and intuitive interface.

You can begin searching from a simple, intuitive Search Pane, and can then expand your search based on the results obtained from the initial search. You can refine searches, and save them for future use.

An Advanced Search capability allows you to create searches that use more complex logic, such as Boolean or parametric search terms, for more focused searching. Search results mirror the traditional layout that you see on common Internet interfaces, with a document title, short auto-generated summaries, sortable columns, and automated refinements based on keywords and document type.
