Process of Configuring Siebel Search for Third-Party Search Engines

Siebel Search can work with any third-party search engine, provided that the third-party search engine has a Web service endpoint. If the third-party search engine has a Web service endpoint, then Siebel Search can do the following:

• Send indexing and search requests to the Web service endpoint.
• Receive responses and display the responses in the Siebel application's Search Results view.

To set up third-party search engines for integration with Siebel Search, perform the following tasks. Note that the third-party Elastic Search Engine is used as an example in the tasks in this process.

• Write a Web service for your Search Engine and host it on a Web server.

  For more information about writing a Web service for a search engine, see 2128418.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.
