21.1 What You Should Know About WebCenter Search with Oracle SES

Oracle recommends Oracle SES search for best performance. You can configure Oracle SES to search WebCenter applications for the following resources: ■ Documents, including wikis and blogs ■ Announcements and Discussions ■ Spaces, lists, pages, and people resources in WebCenter Spaces Results from all sources are listed together, with the most relevant items appearing first. For example, when you run a search for a user name, most likely, you are looking for that persons contact information that is, the exact user name in the People Connections service, not necessarily documents that the user wrote. The unified ranking results in Oracle SES allow you to see the most relevant results, across all different types of searches, without configuring Search Preferences. When Oracle SES is configured to search WebCenter, other non-crawled resources for example, notes and events are not returned in search results. Three types of Oracle SES crawlers index WebCenter resources: ■ Oracle WebCenter Documents Crawler : For both WebCenter Portal applications and WebCenter Spaces applications. This uses the Oracle SES Oracle Content Server source type to crawl documents, including wikis and blogs. ■ Oracle WebCenter Discussions Crawler : For both WebCenter Portal applications and WebCenter Spaces applications. This uses the Oracle SES Database source type to crawl discussions and announcements. ■ Oracle WebCenter Spaces Crawler : For WebCenter Spaces applications only. This uses the Oracle SES Oracle WebCenter source type to crawl certain WebCenter Spaces objects, such as lists, pages, Spaces, and people connections profiles. Note: Oracle WebCenter Spaces includes the additional Oracle SES crawler that indexes Spaces, lists, pages, and people resources in WebCenter Spaces. This crawler is not supported in WebCenter Portal applications. Note: Oracle SES crawls information collected as a source. Each source has a type that identifies where the information is stored, such as in a database or a content repository.
