Version 3.0.0

Released: March 2021

Updates and enhancements

This release of the TIBCO EBX® Information Search Add-on has been updated to ensure compatibility with the TIBCO EBX® 6.0.0 GA release. Beginning with this release, search capabilities in the EBX® core product were expanded. As a result, the add-on's functional scope is now reduced. See the TIBCO EBX® Release Notes for additional details on the core product's expanded search capabilities.

The add-on still allows you to configure a targeted search (previously global search) across dataspaces and datasets. Additionally, you can create custom configurations to use your own implementation of search templates, synonyms, and stopwords. Note that deployment of this version of the add-on resets the add-on's configuration dataset.

New features

This release includes the new global search feature. With this feature, searches can span multiple dataspaces and datasets. Global search is accessed from the main toolbar, which lifts the requirement that users navigate to the dataset or table they want to search.

/global_search_access.png

When configuring global search, administrators create contexts that point to tables, and link the contexts with profiles. Note that in order to include a table in a context, it must already be configured in the add-on for localized dataset and table searches. The image below highlights the location of new tables used to configure global search.

The global search feature can be used when searching via a REST request. Additionally, global search is available as a perspective action and workflow task. For more information on using and configuring global search, see:

Release Note 1.0.0

Release Date: Dec 19, 2013

EBX Information Search Add-on allows retrieving data anywhere in the repository. The search is multi-table-oriented. This means that the result of a search query is a collection of data sourced from one or multiple tables. The ability to search over a set of tables allows querying a large scope of information, similar to a web search engine.

The search query is based on a fuzzy execution retrieves information even if the search criteria do not match the data exactly. For example, the search criterion 'John' will return information such as 'Jone', 'Johnson', 'Cohn' depending on the configuration of the search engine. This configuration allows for tuning the search to avoid unwanted results and for deciding which fuzzy search policies to apply (phonetics, distance).

EBX Information Search Add-on allows for retrieving information not only on data value of the repository but also on meta-data, namely the data models and workflow descriptions.

Search scope

All tables in a dataset.

Search algorithms

Phonetics and distance.

UI results

Generic tabular view and web view.
