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.
