Creating Searchable Business Component Fields

Specific fields in a business component can be excluded from the indexing and search operation, to enable more efficient indexing and searching, and more relevant results. The Available Fields list applet determines which fields are included in an index operation, and therefore which fields are available for searching. The new custom fields must first be mapped in the file Application_Suite_OSES_Field-Mappings.xml. See Defining Index Elements for information on mapping custom fields for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search.
