Site Search Overview

Airgentic Help

Site Search helps visitors find the right pages, documents, services, programs, products, or support content on your website.

Depending on your setup, Site Search can appear as an overlay, an embedded search page, or a search experience with an AI-generated answer above the results.

What Site Search Can Include

Site Search can support:

  • Search result categories such as Programs, Courses, News, Help, or Products.
  • Search scopes that control category tabs, scope-specific filters, and default sorting.
  • Filters such as Format, Delivery, Subject, or Date.
  • Result cards that control result layouts, thumbnails, summaries, and metadata badges.
  • Curated results that promote important pages or manually created results for specific queries.
  • Optional AI answers generated from the top search results.
  • Search-only, search-with-answer, or assistant-style layouts.
  • Inline search pages embedded into your website.
  • Search page styling that can reuse existing website or search-platform CSS.
  • Optional Funnelback URL compatibility for migrations.

Some advanced options may initially be configured by Airgentic support rather than directly by customer admins.

Advanced filters are built from Search Fields in Search Configuration > Fields and configured on Search Configuration > Filters. A Search Field can map HTML metadata to an Airgentic field, compute a value from the URL, and optionally appear as a search filter or result-card badge.

The field editor includes inline examples for field types and filter styles. Most filters use Keyword / filter value, while drill-down filters use Hierarchy / drill-down path.

For existing web crawl services, standard result fields such as title, description, image, and date usually still come from Web Crawl Configuration > Standard Result Fields unless the service is explicitly configured to use Search Fields for those standard fields.
