SAP MDG can use Enterprise Search to search master data and related objects, with the guide focusing mainly on MDG-M and SAP HANA as the database. In SAP NetWeaver 7.5, Embedded Search was renamed SAP Enterprise Search on HANA. For incident handling, use BC-EIM-ESH for Enterprise Search itself and CA-MDG-APP-MM for MDG-M search models, connectors, and search results.
