You can associate specific search terms with
reports or other IBM® Cognos® objects. When a user enters
a term that is on the list, the associated IBM Cognos object
is displayed above the search engine results, under the Suggested tab.
For
example, you have a widely used report called Total Revenue by Country
or Region. You decide to associate the report with the term "revenue"
so the report will always be shown as a suggested result for that
search term.
