Federated Search Developer Guide: Connect External Search Providers to Salesforce
Federated Search connects the Salesforce federated search connector to the external
search provider so that data from external repositories can be searched and returned within
Salesforce. External search providers have partnered with Salesforce to provide a search
service that conforms to the API found in the Salesforce Federated Search Developer
Guide.
| Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
The Federated Search Developer Guide follows the OpenSearch specification with more Salesforce extensions. External search providers who conform to this API remain fully compliant to the OpenSearch specification and can be queried by any OpenSearch client at the same URL endpoint.
