Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.4 was certified with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.0 earlier this year. Our Applications Technology Group has just released their certification of Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.4 with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i.
If you missed that earlier announcement, here's a recap of the basics. Secure Enterprise Search (SES) provides new search capabilities for EBS: Apps users can search for E-Business Suite data using a unified search engine, with search results displayed based upon their Applications responsibilities. Searches can be performed on structured and unstructured data. Notably, search results respect multi-level security, including:

Searches can be performed on structured and unstructured data. Notably, search results respect multi-level security, including:
- Role-based access control (RBAC) functional and data security
- Product-specific security policies
For example, an authorized E-Business Suite user could use the search
screen above to search for "Assets" in "Northpark," yielding the
following results:

Hi Steven,
This is exciting. Can you compare Secure Search to a custom bolt-on such as a Lucene search in terms of performance, features, etc. (apart from the fact that you now don't need a bolt on). This would be useful for those considering integrating such text searches, potentially relieving the database from querying unstructured data.

Hi, John,
Yes, we're pleased about this certification. I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with third-party bolt-ons in this area, so I can't provide any meaningful comparisons between them and Oracle's Secure Enterprise Search.
Good luck with your evaluation. I'd be interested in hearing more about your assessment and your plans for this integration in the future.
Regards,
Steven

There are lots of differences between SES integration with E-Business Suite and any other integration you may have experienced with other tools. I'll provide you with a more detailed response in a private email.
Thanks
