A system and method facilitating data search, analysis, and/or related actions or data modifications in an enterprise computing environment. An example method includes providing a first user option to specify a transaction search; providing a second user option to specify an analytic; and employing an integrated analytics and search framework to present one or more search results via the analytic in response to user selection of the first user option. In a more specific embodiment, the first user option further enables user specification of one or more dimensions of a data component used for a search, by manipulation of an analytics setting. A third user option enables user modification of search data returned as search results and/or may enable users to perform related actions, e.g., approval of expense reports. Additional controls may enable selective user access to functionality depending upon content of the search results.

Embedding analytics within transaction search

Embodiments of the invention provide for persisting and retrieving search results based on a context of the search results and an application providing those results. For example, one embodiment of the present invention allows a user to access previous search result from a current page of a user interface, e.g., by clicking on an icon in the interface page. Additionally, these previous results can be made available without requiring the user to leave a current page in order to view the saved results. For example, the previous results can be indicated and accessible through an icon on the breadcrumb menu that, upon the user clicking of otherwise selecting the icon, causes the user interface to render the previous search results in a pop up dialog without leaving the current page.

Framework to persist and retrieve previous searches based on the context

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing a search-based navigation of data across different contexts. According to one embodiment, navigating and accessing data across different contexts can comprise maintaining indexed sets of data related to the different contexts. A user interface can be generated based on a search of the index and presented to a user. The user interface can comprise a view of a current context and a search element for receiving a set of user defined search criteria. The user defined search criteria can be received through the search element of the user interface and the contexts can be searched using the index and based on the search criteria. An updated user interface for presenting the search results be generated and presented to the user. The updated user interface can comprise a representation of the results of the searching and the search element.
