Integrating SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search into the Portal 
You can integrate SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search into SAP NetWeaver Portal, and thus provide portal users with a unified, comprehensive, and secure real-time access to enterprise data. The search returns both structured data (business objects) and unstructured data (HTML files, presentations, documents) from SAP systems and other search providers and allows direct access to the associated applications and actions.
You have the System Administration and Content Administration portal roles assigned to your user.
You have deployed the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search portal components.

If you configure the use of SSO correctly, the list of search categories is displayed in the Category dropdown box in the portal header. Furthermore, you no longer need to authenticate yourself to display the search results.
You have integrated the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search into the portal and enabled the use of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search User Interface (Search UI). The portal header contains the search input field, the Category dropdown menu, and the Advanced Search option.
Note
