About Search and Find Tags


The Siebel client merges search, find, and query in a unified search model. This configuration provides users with multiple ways to locate records. You can configure a template to display search and query features from an application menu and query features from an applet menu. You can use Siebel tags to display the Search and Find applet, and the Results applet.
