Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for performing text and attribute searches of data stores that include business objects and for searching business objects. A computer-implemented method, for adapting business objects for text searches, includes retrieving attribute data from a business object and storing the attribute data as linear text content of the business object. A computer program product, for searching business objects, includes instructions operable to cause a processor to receive search criteria. The product includes instructions to access a linear text of a business object, the linear text including attribute data from the business object. The product includes instructions to search the linear text to identify the received search criteria. The product is tangibly stored on machine-readable medium.
