The R12.ATG_PF.B.Delta.3 patch (8919491) recently got released to Oracle Metalink. I wish to take the opportunity to highlight the major changes in Enterprise Search area, which are included in this patch.

Advanced Results Display Option in Enterprise Search Toolbar

Assuming you have already enabled the Enterprise Search Tool bar in OA Home page, you would notice that a “Search Results Display Preference” choice box has been added. This gives you a very flexible option of switching back and forth between our standard search results display and Oracle SES default search application. You may customize the Oracle SES search application’s results display, the way you want.

Result displayed in Standard display preference:

If you switch the display preference to “Advanced”, this is what you get:

You may need to login one more time depending on whether you have SSO in place or not. In either case, you should be able to seamless switch between the two different display options.

Export Search Results to Excel Spread-sheet

You may now export the search results, when rendered in “Tabular” style into an excel spread-sheet.

Sort by Displayed Attributes

Search results are displayed in the descending order of relevance by default. You may also choose to sort the results on any other displayed attribute of a search object.

Note:- Sorting is currently done on top 100 results. If the result set contains more than 100 results, you may not get the desired outcome.
