Leveraging search in your application

To add a search capability in your application, you can use full-text search (FTS), global search, or cognitive search based on your business needs. Use global search when you want to search multiple record definitions in an application, use full-text search when you want an index-driven search capability, and use cognitive search when you want an AI-driven search capability. For more information about full-text search, global search, and cognitive search, see Search capabilities for custom applications.

Consult the following use cases for information on how to add a search capability in your application:
