Hello,
We are currently evaluating the capabilities of Enterprise Portal Search for the first time.
We use AJAX framework page and would like to use the Search bar on the Mast Head of the page.
The main requirement that we are trying to implement is as follows :
Requirement : Search for a specific application like 'Open Enrollment' from the Search Bar and navigate to that particular iView launching the application.
The application/iView could be from one or more business package roles that he is assigned to.
Currently this facility is available from inside of SAP UI5 Landing Pages and Chips, but this one is limited to a particular role, like ESS only. Also this is within a particular chip only, and hence we would want to move this functionality to a more central location like that of 'Search on the Mast Head of the Portal framework page.
In essence, the requirement is to provide a simple straight-forward search for enterprise applications and iViews available to the user, so that the user can search and navigate to them alternately.
I have been reading up a lot on the search capabilities within portal and found information related to the following topics :
1. Enterprise Search
2. TREX Search and Classification
3. Embedded Search
4. Custom Search Providers and Data Provider Services.
5. Knowledge Management Search iView
None of the above are satisfying the simple requirement that I have and they seem to be for more complex and deep search scenarios.
I am not sure if I am understanding this correctly.
Can someone point me in the right direction to achieve my requirement?
I wonder if this requirement is even supported by Portal Search or not, or am I missing something completely.
Thank you,
Srikanth
