Set up AI Search step by step: add your content, let the AI learn it, and choose how the search box looks on your website. All AI Search settings are in the TYPO3 backend under AI Universe → AI Chatbot/Search. Before you start, connect an AI provider in AI Foundation (see AI Providers). The basic idea in 4 steps
  1. Add content – tell AI Search which pages, PDFs or texts it may use (Data Source).
  2. Train – AI Search reads the content and prepares it for searching (Training Center).
  3. Switch on the search – turn on AI Search and style the search box (Search tab).
  4. Check the results – see what visitors searched (Usage Analytics).
AI Search and AI Chatbot share the same backend module. Content you add and train once is used by both.
Follow the pages in this order. Pages 1–5 are the basic setup. The others are optional or for later.
