#SubscriberSearch-nod(e)

Subscriber Search is a sample application illustrating how to create a Hub Exchange app utilizing Single Sign-on (SSO) for ExactTarget's Interactive Marketing Hub.

This sample app provides you assets and examples demonstrating the basics on "how-to" create a user-contextualized Subscriber Search app which implement ExactTarget's Fuel Platform suite of tools.

Prior to working with these examples, you should feel confident using App Center. App Center is the your primary interface to register as a developer with ExactTarget and the tool you use to define apps which will integrate with the Fuel Platform.

The source code for these sample applications are open sourced and the code provided is intended to quickly enable you with the core concepts of developing apps with ExactTarget.

The Subscriber Search app you'll be building offers beneficial functionality; however the Sample Apps should be considered proof of concept style coding and there may additional security / performance steps that are outside the scope of it's purpose.
