Configuring Search Fields

Search Configuration is at the core of results customization. The following elements contribute to results-optimization and can be configured from Search Configuration. 

SearchAssist creates a Default Search configuration. You can either refine it, clone and tweak it or create your own search configuration. Create multiple search configurations not only to test and enhance the search results but also to cater to different regions, people groups, and contexts. 

For example, you can set a top-down search experience for users searching from one region, for example India and assign a bottom-up search experience for users from another, example USA.
