Oracle Search - Does it work for Spatial?

Last week InformationWeek reported that Oracle was challenging Google with a new enterprise search engine. The subtitle of the article was "Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g can locate information in enterprise applications, email and stored documents." So I contacted Jayant Sharma, Technical Director for Spatial Products at Oracle for some clarification to see if there was an implied geospatial functionality that this new engine could leveralge. His response was, "Short answer is no. Longer answer is yes because the SDK lets you build POI (points of interest) search like Yahoo/Google Local have."
