Oracle Webcenter Content PS5 | Oracle WebCenter Content Search Engine Plug-in for Web Browsers

Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6) provides search engine plug-ins for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, which allow you to perform quick searches on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance directly from the web browser search bar without having to go through the content server's web interface.

Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop 11gR1 provides plug-ins for various popular web browsers which enable you to search for content on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance directly from the search field in your web browser. 

The following web browsers are supported:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
  
• Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or higher
  
• Google Chrome 10 or higher
  

Please note the following:

• The Oracle WebCenter Content Server browser plug-in is available only if this feature has been enabled on the content server (on the DesktopIntegrationSuite component configuration page).
• The default search provider name for an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance is 'Oracle WebCenter Content Search', but this can be changed by the content server administrator. Contact your Content Server system administrator if you are not sure what the search provider name for an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance is.
• A content server search provider in your web browser is for a specific Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance only. You cannot search multiple content servers using a single search provider.
• You cannot add two search providers for the same Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance. Once you have added a search provider, it will not be added again for the same Content Server instance.
• The search results are displayed in the web browser, in the Oracle WebCenter Content Server web interface.
• If you are currently logged in to the content server (that is, there is a login cookie for the server on your computer), you will see all content items that meet the search criteria and for which you have access privileges on the server. If you are not logged in, then you will see only public content.
• The search performed in your web browser mimics the Quick Search feature in the Oracle Content Server web interface
