Global search is a good choice for the start page of the University Knoledge Base (UKB). It is used to perform a comprehensive search over all object types by one query at the same time (Everywhere option), so that one can see an image and potential of the University in the context of the query in all possible dimensions.
Hence, this type of querying is useful if one would like to get a general idea about research run at the university on a given subject. As an example, below a global result for the query bioengineering is shown:
As one can see, particular tabs show answers for the query in particular object domains, giving a general view of the contents of the Knowledge Base for the specified query.
