Transforming Documents Into Searchable Content

Topics:

Getting Started

Using FORMAT MAGNIFY, raw data can be transformed on the server. The output is used to create an XML document that Magnify indexes as searchable content. At a high level, the tasks that are required include extracting, transforming, and feeding content to Magnify. This is very similar to building a WebFOCUS report, where data is modeled, a report is designed, and then a procedure is executed. Every row that is created is then catalogued with Magnify as a search result.

Getting Started

The following guidelines can assist you when configuring a search:

Review the data and build context by joining common relationships.
Identify high-level groups and designate searchable data.
Enhance and enrich the data with drilldowns and security.
Aggregate data by merging multiple rows into a single search result.
Configure the feed and index with Magnify.
Schedule feeds for full-search life cycles.

Immediate benefits that result include:

Discovering information with categorizations.
Searching across tables and rows.
Associating search content with business intelligence reporting.
