This year, we have been looking into the best way to deliver search capabilities in an APEX application.

Customers are used to searching in Google and often want the same functionality in their business application.  While we don’t have the resources and years of research that Google have, we can take some ideas from them and develop great search mechanisms in our own applications.

The video below is a recording of a presentation we delivered at the APEX SIG in May where we talk about:

  • What search tools are available natively in APEX.
  • How we can customise these tools to deliver a much better search.
  • How we can integrate Oracle Text into our search solution.
  • How we can integrate an ElasticSearch database with APEX to deliver a fast, full-featured search solution without having to do the hard part.
