Specification

Claims:1. A bandwidth efficient method for searching and accessing information based on a user authorization within an enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment (202) accessible through and communicatively coupled with an integrated user interface (206), characterized by authorizing the user for searching and accessing the information containing authorization key ingrained therein without compromising speed of searching; said method comprising processor implemented steps of:

a. inputting user defined search query for information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202) using a search query input module (302);
b. forming user defined search query by incorporating authorization information of the user therein using a search query formation module (304);
c. searching a plurality of indexes (204) for information using formed user defined search query and user authorization information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202) using an information search module (306);
d. extracting search results from the plurality of indexes (204) based on the user defined search query and user authorization information using an information extraction module (308); and
e. displaying the extracted search results along with a synopsis of the search results to the user based on user authorization using an information display module (310).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the information is selected from a group comprising of a user, a group, a resource, an application, an entity, a solution interface, a workflow, a transaction and a document within the enterprise resource planning environment (202).

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user authorization information comprises of user authorization type within the enterprise resource planning environment (202).

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the user authorization type for searching and accessing information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202) is selected from a group comprising of individual user, user group, resource, application, entity, solution interface, workflow, transaction and document.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprises of enabling the user to search and access information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202), accessible through and communicatively coupled with the integrated user interface (206) in a single step.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user is enabled to filter information while searching and accessing information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202).

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the information filtration while searching and accessing information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202) is selected from a group comprising of pre search filtration and post search filtration.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprises of extracting searches history of the user stored in a search history repository (208) accessible through the integrated user interface (206) and communicatively coupled with the enterprise resource planning environment (202) and displaying the extracted searches history to the user through the integrated user interface (206) before searching and accessing information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202).

9. A system (200) for searching and accessing information based on a user authorization; characterized by authorizing the user for searching and accessing the information containing authorization key ingrained therein without compromising speed of search; said system (200) comprising:

a. a processor; a data bus coupled to said processor;
b. an enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment (202) accessible through and communicatively coupled with an integrated user interface (206), enabling searching and accessing information based on the user authorization within said enterprise resource planning environment (202);
c. a plurality of indexes (204) adapted for hosting information pertaining to said enterprise resource planning environment (202);
d. a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for operating:

a search query input module (302) adapted for inputting user defined search query for information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202);
a search query formation module (304) adapted for forming user defined search query by incorporating authorization information of the user therein;
an information search module (306) adapted for searching the plurality of indexes (204) for information using formed user defined search query and user authorization information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202);
an information extraction module (308) adapted for extracting search results from the plurality of indexes (204) based on the user defined search query and user authorization information; and
an information display module (310) adapted for displaying the extracted search results along with a synopsis of the search results to the user based on user authorization.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9, further comprises of a search history repository (208) accessible through the integrated user interface (206) and communicatively coupled with the enterprise resource planning environment (202), adapted for storing searches history of the user and enabling extraction of searches history of the user and displaying the extracted searches history to the user through the integrated user interface (206) before searching and accessing information within the enterprise resource planning environment (202).
