There is an Enterprise Vault integrated search, and an Enterprise Vault browser search available in the client extensions. The integrated search requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Browser search supports most modern browsers.

In both search applications, users can view and restore archived items.

Domino single sign-on (SSO) must be configured to enable access to either search application. Searching is performed using the virtual directory, /EnterpriseVaultDomino. This virtual directory is configured to use anonymous authentication and a special anonymous user account.

To start integrated search the user selects the option, Enterprise Vault Search, on the Tools menu in Lotus Notes or DWA. This displays the SSO logon box. The user needs to enter their Lotus Notes user name (common name or full hierarchical name) and their Internet password. The Internet password is defined within the user's person document, and may or may not be the same as their Lotus Notes user ID password. The user must have an Internet password in order to log on to the integrated search.

There is a link to the browser search in the integrated search page. Alternatively, users can start the browser search in a browser by entering the following URL:

HTTP://Domino_Gateway_servername/EnterpriseVaultDomino

In Domino mailbox archiving, this search can only be used to search Domino mailbox archives.

In the browser search log on page, the user must enter their Lotus Notes user name (common name or full hierarchical name), their Internet password, and the Domino domain to search.

With integrated search a user can only search Domino mailbox archives in the same Domino domain. With browser search, users can search Domino mailbox archives in any Domino domain.
