A system including an enterprise crawl and search framework (ECSF) which includes support for a global universal search box, comprising: a computer including one or more microprocessors; an ECSF framework, executing on the computer, which abstracts an underlying search engine and provides a common set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for developing search functionalities, wherein the ECSF framework is configured to serve as an integration layer between one or more enterprise search engines and one or more enterprise applications, wherein the ECSF framework includes a searchable object manager configured to manage searchable objects from the one or more enterprise applications and provide a runtime interface for accessing the searchable objects; and a computing environment which displays a global universal search box; wherein when a user inputs a search query into the global universal search box, the search query is executed against crawled and/or searched data provided by the ECSF framework; and wherein results of the search query, in the form of data represented by the searchable objects to which the user has entitlement to view, are returned dynamically, to update contents of the global universal search box.
