Process of Configuring Siebel Search for Third-Party Search Engines

Siebel Search can work with any third-party search engine, if 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:

• Send indexing and search requests to the web service endpoint.

• Receive responses and display the responses in the Siebel application's search results.

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.
• Configure Siebel Search and indexing. See:
