Exercise 9.3: Create new search page with Search API

In GovCMS we can setup and configure multiple searches, this includes setting up multiple Search Indices and configuring them individually (if required).

Create new Search Index

To use the Search API and to create a new search page, first, we have to create a search index. This index will ensure communications between the content of your website and end user.

  1. Go to Configuration → Search and metadata → Search API and click the Add Index button.
