Perceptive Search is a solution for indexing and searching your Lotus data. Whether your situation calls for a departmental solution for searching your internal Notes databases or a front-end tool for searching data you publish to the Web via Lotus Domino, Perceptive Search offers a broad suite of solutions to meet your particular need.
Perceptive Search accesses the Lotus databases as an external application via the Lotus Notes client on the machine Perceptive Search is running on. Perceptive Search needs a complete Lotus Notes install on the machine the indexing takes place on.
Perceptive Search has the same view to the data as the Lotus Notes client. This is particularly important when a database is restricted by access permissions. The data that is indexed by Perceptive Search will only be what is visible to the current Lotus Notes user.
When Lotus Notes is running, the "current user" for Perceptive Search is the User ID that Lotus Notes uses right now. If Lotus Notes is not running the "current user" for Perceptive Search is the User ID that Lotus Notes used the last time it was running.
Perceptive Search will need the password for the User's ID-file and will pass it to Lotus Notes when requested. You need to supply the password only once the first time you configure index with Lotus Notes indexing rule. See Lotus Notes Security for more information.
