Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing search results in response to a business object search request. The methods and systems may generate result business objects in response to a search request including a search term, the result business objects each having attributes at least one of which includes data that matches the search term. Also, the methods and system may generate a default attribute display set including at least a first attribute associated with each of the result business objects and a dynamic attribute display set that includes any attribute that includes data that matches the search term for any of the result business objects. Based on the default and dynamic attribute display sets, a result display set is generated. The methods and system may also display search results presenting data corresponding to the attributes included in the result display set.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing guided navigation across different types of result objects. The methods and systems may receive a search request and generate a search result based on the search request, the search result including result objects of different object types. Further, the methods and systems may normalize the result objects based on metadata associated with generic attributes related to each object type. Based on the normalization, guided navigation results are generated across the different object types of the result objects. Further, the methods and systems may create a metadata database by defining object types for result objects that are generated in response to a search request and defining generic attributes corresponding to the object types. The generic attributes reflect attributes that apply to all object types.
