Already use ke_search, indexed_search or Solr for your website search? Then AI Search can show a short AI answer above the normal search results. Visitors get a quick answer and still see the usual result list. You need a developer for one small change in the search template. Everything else is done in the backend.
  1. Your website is fully indexed by your search extension.
  2. AI Search training runs regularly (the task T3CS Training (Site N), see Scheduler).

​
Setup overview

Part 1 – in the backend (you)
  1. Go to AI Universe → AI Chatbot/Search → Search → Settings.

    • ke_search: ke_search_sword
    • indexed_search: tx-indexedsearch-searchbox-sword
    • Solr: tx-solr-q
  3. Click Save Configuration.
Enter the value without a dot in front. If your website design uses a different name for the search field, ask your developer for the right value.
Part 2 – in the template (your developer) Your developer adds one line to the search template of your search extension. See “For developers” below. Part 3 – test
  1. Clear all caches.
  2. Search for something on your website.

For developers

Add one line to your own copy (override) of the search template, where the AI answer should appear. Don’t edit the files of the search extension itself.
  • ke_search: in SearchForm.html. Search Class: ke_search_sword.
  • indexed_search: in Search.fluid.html, after the search form and before the results. Search Class: tx-indexedsearch-searchbox-sword.
  • Solr: in Results.html, after the search form. Search Class: tx-solr-q. Fluid injectAiSearchResults snippet in indexed_search Search.fluid.html Fluid injectAiSearchResults snippet in Solr Results.html

Enable AI Search plugin using TypoScript

Developers can also show the AI Search plugin from a template, without placing it on the page.
Add this where the plugin should appear. Set searchPid to the ID of the page that contains the AI Search plugin (for example 4):
