Putting it on your website

This page is for the person who edits your iMIS website.

Three ways it can appear

Style

What visitors see

Use it for

Header search

A search button in your site header that opens a search panel over the page.

Site-wide search from every page.

Page search

The search box and results built into a page.

A dedicated search page, or a directory search.

Chatbot

An "Ask AI" button that opens a conversation window.

A conversational assistant, with or without a search box on the page.

Adding it to a page

  1. Pseudo Code gives you the code for each placement.
  2. In iMIS, edit the page and add a Content Html content item where the search should go. For a header search, use the item your site template uses on every page.
  3. Paste the code in and publish the page.

Ask us before changing the code. It contains your site's key and the settings for that placement.

More than one search on a page

A page can have a header search and a page search together, each with its own scope. For example, a site-wide search in the header and a directory search in the page. Only the page search updates the web address, so a search can be shared as a link.

Choosing what each search covers

Each search box is set up on the Searches screen with its own name and scope. Talk to us before adding or changing one.
