Advanced XSLT Features

Here we will learn about advanced XSLT features offered in XSLT 2.0, including grouping, multiple outputs, and temporary tree features. We will use XSLT to create a dictionary for search applications.

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) is Oracle’s enterprise search product. Oracle SES provides the “Did you mean?” search feature.
