Setting up Keyword Search for Fluid Components

The keyword search for a fluid component is similar to the keyword search for a classic component. The keyword search runs against a search index built using the PeopleSoft Search Framework and deployed to the search engine. The keyword search is more free-form and more “Google-like.” You implement keyword search for a fluid component using the same steps as you would complete for a classic component.

When accessing a component with keyword search enabled, the search category mapped to that component appears selected in the Global Search box. Running a search on that category returns results only from the indexes in that category and displays them in PTS_NUI_SEARCH. If the user selects All or another search category and runs a search, the system treats the search as a global search, and the global search page (PTS_NUI_GBLSRCH) is used to display results.
