What is SAP Enterprise Search?

What is Enterprise Search?

Enterprise Search refers to a company-wide full-text search that enables users to quickly search structured and unstructured data across all systems. Whether ERP data, documents, emails or databases – enterprise search enables relevant information to be found efficiently. Modern solutions for SAP are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence and machine learning to intelligently prioritize search results. The search engine analyzes the content, context and metadata to deliver relevant content – very similar to Apache Lucene, only specially adapted to business applications.

Enterprise Search for SAP

With Enterprise Search for SAP, users can access information from various SAP applications via a central search – whether from SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA or other systems. The solution is deeply integrated into the infrastructure and therefore offers high performance in data processing. The search queries run through a powerful search engine that returns results in real time. Predefined data source connections, also known as search connectors, allow results from various modules such as Finance, Sales or HR to be retrieved quickly. Typical SAP applications that can be searched with Enterprise Search:

• SAP Business One
• SAP S/4HANA
• SAP Fiori Launchpad

The search interface is intuitive, the data is up to date, and the results can be filtered by content, category or time.

Search in SAP with artificial intelligence

The searchit Enterprise Search Engine for SAP uses advanced AI algorithms to improve search results. Users enter terms or code fragments and the system automatically recognizes correlations, synonyms or related data records. The engine provides many search filters depending on the user context. In addition, data access can be controlled by mapping user rights in the search.

Example: If a user searches for “customer Müller”, the system searches not only the customer master data, but also open issues, associated business documents, previous inquiries and project information – all in a single application view.
