Starting with Cloud version 44, administrators have the ability to change the order of search results via API access. Specifically, the order of the different types of search results can be customized in the search results page.
What are the requirements and API settings?
- "Bearer authentication" with valid "oAuth token" is required.
- To customize the search experience the global permission "MANAGE_GLOBAL_SEARCH" is required.
Available options
Once all prerequisites are met, there are several options to intervene in the sorting of the search results or to change their order.
Tip:
Search result types that are not explicitly defined in the settings when sorting is customized are displayed at the end of the search results in alphabetical order.
