To enable Search Data Vault, you must create a search index for each table you want to include in the search. Each search index contains a list of columns that you specify in Enterprise Data Manager. After you specify columns for the search index, you create the search index by running the Create Indexes in Data Vault job.

When you search Data Vault with a keyword or term, the search engine looks for the keyword or term in indexed columns. If the keyword or term is in an indexed column, the corresponding record appears in the search results. If the keyword or term is not in an indexed column, the record does not appear in the results even if the record contains the keyword in another column.

You must maintain the search index to keep it in sync with Data Vault.
