Methods and systems allow integrated search in an enterprise environment that stores information in data silos. Entity type metadata, relations between entity types and other information related to entity types is extracted from the data silos. Metadata information extracted from multiple data silos is combined to construct a global data model for the enterprise. Entity instances present in the data silos are analyzed to generate documents representing the entity instances. Relations between documents are represented by links between documents. The documents generated are indexed to allow searching across the enterprise. Search results are presented in order of their importance to the searcher.
