1.18.1 Understanding Configuring Search

PeopleSoft Search Framework is a PeopleTools indexed search technology that relies on the use of a predefined search engine by way of PeopleSoft Integration Broker. It supports OpenSearch as the Search Engine. PeopleSoft Integration Broker provides the interface between PeopleSoft Search Framework and OpenSearch to deploy PeopleSoft Search, build the indexes, and return the search results.

See PeopleSoft Search and Insights Home Page (Article ID KA592) on My Oracle Support for more information. The Move to OpenSearch page includes an OpenSearch FAQ and explains the changes to the user interface.

Important:

There are deployment and sizing considerations which should be determined prior to implementation of search. Review the document "PeopleSoft Search and Insights Home Page" (Article ID KA592) on My Oracle Support for more information. This page provides information regarding the essential hardware to help ensure capacity for peak concurrent usage of your PeopleSoft 9.2 environment. Failing to follow these recommendations can impact the performance and stability of your PeopleSoft 9.2 environment.

See the PeopleSoft Search Framework information in the product documentation for PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Search Technology for your new release for details about configuring PeopleSoft Search.

As part of PeopleSoft Search, PeopleSoft HCM offers a number of pre-configured global searches and component keyword search pages. You should review the information about PeopleSoft Search Framework implementation for HCM in the product documentation for PeopleSoft HCM: Application Fundamentals for your new release to determine the extent to which PeopleSoft Search can be enabled for your environment.

In addition, search is implemented in specific products and functionality where Verity was provided in releases prior to PeopleSoft 9.2. You should review the PeopleSoft HCM product documentation for your new release to determine the extent to which search is enabled for your environment.
