Described herein are systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework, including features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. The system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of APIs for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engines and one or more enterprise applications. A computing environment can be used to display a global universal search box. A user can input search queries into the search box, which are then executed against crawled and/or searched data provided by the framework, and results, in the form of data represented by those searchable objects to which the user has entitlement to view, are returned dynamically, to update the contents of the search box.

System and method for providing a global universal search box for the use with an enterprise crawl and search framework

Systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework are described, wherein the system includes features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of application programming interfaces for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engine and one or more enterprise application. A computing environment can be used to display an administration interface for use in administering the framework.

System and method for supporting heterogeneous solutions and management with an enterprise crawl and search framework

Systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework, including features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of application programming interfaces for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engines and one or more enterprise applications. A plurality of searchable objects which are sets of data derived from enterprise applications are used to make view objects available for full text search.

System and method for supporting agile development in an enterprise crawl and search framework environment

Described herein are systems and methods for providing an enterprise crawl and search framework, including features such as use with middleware and enterprise application environments, pluggable security, search development tools, user interfaces, and governance. In accordance with an embodiment, such a system includes an enterprise crawl and search framework which abstracts an underlying search engine, provides a common set of application programming interfaces for developing search functionalities, and allows the framework to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engine and one or more enterprise application. A user interface is provided for use in validating a search box against at target environment as part of implementing search within that environment.
