Extended Search Overview -Do your users need to search Domino databases in multiple Domino domains, Web and content sources, data indexed to a Microsoft Index Server system, and enterprise data from a RDBMS databases? If so, then you should get to know IBM Lotus Extended Search.
IBM Lotus Extended Search is a scalable, server-based technology that searches across many parallel content and data sources and returns query results to a Notes or Web application. Previously known as Domino Extended Search, the product was initially released in 1997 to extend the search capability of Domino applications to multiple back end data sources, such as DB2, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server databases.
