New: Search Function for PeopleSoft Applications
Let’s do a quick follow up on last week’s post that announced the arrival of the PeopleTools 8.52 Release Value Proposition.
An easy, comprehensive search function within PeopleSoft apps has been oft-requested, and lo and behold, Matthew Haavisto of The PeopleSoft Technology Blog has the good news:
As you may have seen from the PeopleTools 8.52 Release Value Proposition, PeopleTools intends to introduce a new search capability in release 8.52. We believe this feature will not only improve the ability of users to find content, but will fundamentally change the way people navigate around the PeopleSoft ecosystem. PeopleSoft applications will be delivering this new search in coming releases and feature packs.
PeopleSoft Application Search is actually a framework—a group of features that provides an improved means of searching for a variety of content across PeopleSoft applications. From a user experience perspective, the new search offers a powerful, keyword-based search presented in a familiar, intuitive user experience.
And we can’t ignore this bit:
The new search will be available at any point in an application and can be configured to span multiple PeopleSoft applications. It enables users to initiate transactions or navigate to key information without using the PeopleSoft application menus.
Fantastic news. Back when PeopleTools 8.5 was announced we saw a nice spike in interest for our PeopleTools Upgrade Packaged Service [PDF], and we suspect 8.52 will drive the same — if not greater — level of interest. A modern, multi-app search has been something users (and admins) have been wanting for a long time.

If you have any questions about this new version of PeopleTools or its value to your organization and current application portfolio, please drop us an email and we’ll get back to you. We’d love to hear whether this new search is something you and your team has been waiting for.
