Performing a Find Operation in Siebel High Interactivity

Siebel Find supports real-time database queries on a field-by-field basis. The Find functionality is independent of any search engine. The type of object that you choose from the Look In list determines whether you execute a Find or a Search operation.

Find results are filtered based on the user's Visibility ID. For more information on data visibility and access control, see the chapter about access control in Siebel Security Guide. Preview and Associate functionality is available for Find results if the Find results have been configured in Siebel Tools to display in the Find Results view.
