6.3 Unified Search Results Across Sources

End users find things on the web by typing a few words into a search bar, reviewing top results, and clicking on promising links to learn more. You can mirror this intuitive search experience in your APEX apps using a Search region that references Search Configurations.

• Defining a Search Configuration
  Define a Search Configuration shared component for each kind of source data users need to search. Each one identifies a local or remote data source and its searchable columns. You also choose which columns play standard roles like primary key, title, description, and icon.
• Using Search Configurations
  After adding a Search region to a page, reference one or more search configurations as search sources.
• Search Results Formatting Options
  You can customize how unified search results appear in three ways.
