 ==== Global Search ====
 
+*    At first, we need to index the uploaded document by defining a new onaccept method for this global search.
+
 *    We will look a the design implementation of IFRC template, and add the global search text box using S3Filter and S3TextFilter.
 
-*    We would not search for a particular record over here, but would filter all widgets for common context. As Dominic guided me, the solution is generic - i.e. it can use any filter widget (text, options, date/time etc.) - but requires the configuration of a context link for every resource (e.g. how is the resource linked to the event). 
-
-*    For eg. If I configure a S3Profile page with a bunch of resources, introspect all text fields in the respective tables. After doing this, configure them as context links, and then add an S3TextFilter for this context.So thus,  then this would let me search for text phrases through all these resources.
-
+*    We would need to '''flatten''' the records and its components into a text representation.
+
+*    After doing this, we need to include the important information of the resource as well as the important information of its component in form of List.
+For eg. list(or a dictionary) would be like "Sectors: Food, Something Else, Another Sector"
+"Type: Organisation, Name: <name of org>"
+
+*    After getting this information, this is when Solr will come into play and will do the full-text search on these information. So we wold get the information of the search results doing the REST calls and thus we need to output the search results.
+ 
 *    After doing this and filtering out the common context, we would need a UI to display it. It would be simple, user friendly and categorized. Showing it in a much better way would be for future implementation.
  
+*    The UI presentation will be a '''Categorized display''', something like:
+Search: DRR 
+
+Result: 
+
+Sector "DRR": 
+    (Records corresponding to this)
+  - 5 Projects related to "DRR" 
+  - 7 Programmes related to "DRR" 
+  - 3 Events related to "DRR"

+Location "Taiwan DRR Centre":
