Enterprise Search 

You use this scenario to give users unified, comprehensive and secure real-time access to enterprise data and information from within and outside of your company. SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search returns both structured data (business objects) and unstructured data (HTML files, presentations, documents) from SAP systems and other search providers.

Users can enter their search requests and receive the federated search results through one integrated browser-based user interface. The search results that are displayed to a user and access to the associated applications are subject to authorization checking.

Prerequisites

SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search requires its own license which has to be purchased separately from the SAP NetWeaver technology platform.
