Search Domain Development

The concept Application Search is used to find and navigate IFS Application's business objects using a text search. This gives the user more freedom to perform a search without knowing exactly where, or in which attribute, certain text is stored. To accomplish the Application Search we use Search Domain Objects.

A Search Domain is one or more entities grouped together as one object. It defines which Entities and Attributes that are possible to search on within the Search Domain.Search Domains can consist of Aggregates and References to Entities that has relations to the Search Domain master entity in some way.

The Search Domain model is used to generate code that builds a XML document. It is indexed by Oracle Text. Oracle Text makes all the attributes values searchable.
