Search Configuration in Multi-site Setup

When you have multiple Documentation Sites, you can configure how search works for readers.

For Contributors, search behavior does not change. They can still search across all projects and publications they have access to.

In Settings → Content Search → Full-Text Search, use the Search only the current site option to set how search works:

  • Enabled — searches only the site the user is currently viewing. Federated Search doesn't work. 
  • Disabled — searches across all available sites, including external sources connected through Federated Search (if enabled).

The Search only on the current site option controls search behavior in multi-site portals.
