Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for a multi-source search. In an embodiment, a method for multi-source searching for a data driven application includes defining a form for a data driven application that includes user interface controls each corresponding to respectively to different fields in different data sources. The method also includes generating a search index for the form incorporating the different fields, coupling the form with a search user interface that includes a search control configured to accept at least one query term and associating the search control with a selection of the different fields. Thereafter, during execution of the data driven application, a search engine query can be directed for the selection of the different fields in the search index and not the different data sources according to the at least one query term provided in the search user interface.
