A site's owner and core team members can add a search bar anywhere on a site or page layout using the search card so that people can use keywords and phrases to explore your site's content. You can also enable global navigation to add a search bar to the top of your site next to the user profile and notifications buttons. Once someone uses this main search bar, another search bar will appear directly above the results, and remain during a session. You will see the same search terms in both.
What shows up in search results?
Content added to the site's content library will show up in your site's search results. For example, if you created an open data site to share data with your community, a community member can enter a search query for parks on your site's search bar and any item related to local community resources (such as web maps of playgrounds, schools, and pools) will appear as search results.
Note:
People who have access to items that have been shared internally can view these private items in search results when signed in with their account.
