Implementation

Each Site Search App has its own Hosted Search app out of the box. To access it, navigate to Site Search > Configurations > Search UI > Hosted Search App.

The Hosted Search App is preconfigured to provide an appropriate search experience to the Search App’s index and settings. Click the View button to open the Hosted Search App in a browser window. You can copy the URL to share with stakeholders and coworkers.

Each time you update the Search Experience in any way, click the Regenerate button before using the Hosted Search App.
