The system includes a search service application builder that provides a search model. The search model represents a search service application for an object. The search model uses an end-user input field for a first attribute for the object and a user-defined search result output field for a second attribute of the object. The search model has code to generate a user interface. The interface includes an input section for receiving values for the first attribute and a search results section for outputting values of the second attribute. The interface also includes code to generate a search query using a search query model for a selected query type. The interface also includes code to receive search result data returned in response to the search query and code to format the search result data for the search results section.

Methods and systems for building search service application

A system for providing a search service is disclosed and includes a processor-based search service application builder component that provides a search model representing a search service application for a first object of a plurality of objects. The search model is based at least on a user-defined end-user input field corresponding to a first attribute of a plurality of attributes associated with the first object and a user-defined search result output field corresponding to a second attribute of the plurality of attributes. The search model is also associated with a backend data store that supports a storage structure configured to store information relating to the first object. The system also includes a processor-based deployment engine that automatically configures a search engine system associated with the backend data store system to generate and/or update search index(es) based on at least one of the first attribute and the second attribute.
