Global Search for Peer-to-Peer Communities

Global Search for Peer-to-Peer Communities lets your users search for articles, discussions, and any object available to your site members and made searchable. The component is separate and distinct from the overall header, making it easy to customize to a site’s needs.

Note The Global Search for Peer-to-Peer Communities component replaces the Search & Post Publisher component, which was deprecated in Winter ’18.

Autocomplete search accounts for partially matching terms and non-adjacent terms.

1. In the page that you’re configuring, select the Global Search for Peer-to-Peer Communities component.
2. In the property editor, configure the properties for the component.
