Appendix B: Using the Search Services

Enterprise Portal uses an embedded search engine—the Dynamic Reasoning Engine (DRE)—to perform concept-based searches. You can call search services methods to perform concept-based searches or you can perform concept-based searches using the portal’s search portlets.

This chapter describes the concept-based search services available in Enterprise Portal and the development information necessary to implement searches in your portal applications.

See Appendix C, “Setting Up Automatic Indexing and Search Functionality,” for instructions on using the portal’s search portlets.
