Understanding Search in PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface

To implement and use search in PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface, Campus Solutions uses PeopleSoft Search Framework. This framework uses facets and keyword search to provide a flexible way to search for courses and classes, and is paired with OpenSearch as its search engine. Campus Solutions uses PeopleSoft Search Framework with OpenSearch for a scalable search solution with near-real time searches.

If you want to use Fluid user interface to search for classes and courses, you must use PeopleTools 8.5.12 (or later) and OpenSearch.

Implementing search involves:

1. Deploying and Configuring the Search Engine.

2. Configuring PeopleSoft Search Framework for Search in Fluid.

3. Configuring Search Options in PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface.

4. Building Indexes for Class and Course Search.
