If you are developing an enterprise document-management application that serves as a platform to generate, manage, and publish content, you might wonder, "How can I make all the content available to end users in an effective and usable manner?" The answer is to enable users to search the content of the entire product.

This white paper describes how you can make your published enterprise application content available for crawling by IBM® search engines such as IBM WebSphere® Portal Search Engine and IBM Omnifind Enterprise Edition 8.5. Learn how to achieve this functionality by using Content Provider Framework, also known as Seedlist Framework, and more specifically by implementing a simple set of APIs that returns the publishing content while handling critical aspects of security, rich metadata, and effective updates.
