Filter Visibility for Search

Siebel Search also contains predefined search specifications which allow you to do the following:

• Create search categories with preset search specification. For example, if Literature status=published then no records that are in draft form will be considered during a search. This visibility control is organization wide, no matter the responsibility of the user.
• Create multiple search categories on the same business component to give users greater granularity to control their searches. For example, you can have one search category in your application called White Papers based on the literature business component, and another category called Brochures, which is also based on the literature business component. A user can then perform a search on white papers, without searching on all literature items.
