Configuring Search Engine Settings for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search

This topic covers configuration of the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search and Siebel Search integration fields in the Search Engine Settings view of the Siebel Search Administration UI.

To configure the search engine settings for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Search OSES screen, then the Search Engine Settings view.
  2. Change the version number of the OSES search engine from 10.1.8 to 11.2.2.2.0.

    The version number for the OSES search engine is 10.1.8 by default but if you are using Oracle Secure Enterprise Search version 11.2.2.2, then you must update the version number of the OSES search engine to 11.2.2.2.0.

  3. In the Driver Parameters applet, complete the search engine settings as required.

    The settings are described in the following table.
