About Siebel Find Operations

Find is a tool that consists of a direct query on a database, and allows users to query on a field-by-field basis. Find objects are accessible from anywhere in your Siebel application through the Search Center, and allow users to perform queries on specific predefined fields linked to specific business components (such as querying for an employee's last name). Find results are a real-time reflection of database records because Find directly queries the database instead of using indices. This makes Find appropriate for searching on transactional database records that change frequently, such as Activity or Opportunity records. Find operations are case sensitive.

NOTE:  The Siebel Query tool is covered in Siebel Fundamentals on the Siebel Bookshelf. The Siebel Bookshelf is published on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and Oracle E-Delivery.
