There are 3 search bug engines installed: oracle, google, mozilla. The google and mozilla ones are publically available. The oracle one is internal only and default, so will not work for non-Oracle employees. You can select which to use by user setting json on top level: "bugdb.source": "oracle" or "google" or "mozilla" . If you want to user your own internal company db, you can set "oracleBugdb.url": "your internal url search".

The oracle one also shows how to use 2 internal sites, if the selected string starts with JIRA, it invokes the JIRA oracle site, otherwise the bugdb site.

Requirements

For the oracle search engine, you must be inside oracle corporations network. For google and mozilla, no restrictions.
