Setting Up Full-Text Search

Siebel eSearch is the customer application deployment of Siebel Search, which allows users to scan database tables and documents for pertinent information. Siebel Search uses Hummingbird, Ltd. SearchServer, an indexing and retrieval search engine. Siebel Search is included with every license of a Siebel application.

The Siebel Life Sciences portals include a Siebel eSearch form that uses the Hummingbird, Ltd. SearchServer engine to scan database tables and documents in the Siebel File System. Users can perform searches from any screen by entering text in the Search text box and clicking Go.

Database records and documents in the Siebel File System that contain the criterion text are returned in the Search Results list. Search results are ranked according to relevance and sorted according to rank. Users can click on a linked field to see the detail for a record.
