How to Configure the Search Tabs for Content Sources

About

  • The Search Tabs are used to specify which content sources SmartHub uses and how the query changes based on which content source is selected.
  • Search Tabs were initially sourced from Coveo and they are referred to as "CoveoTab" in the BA Insight code.
  • The Search Tabs and the CoveoTab component are one and the same.
  • To configure a Search Tab, edit the HTML page and add the desired attributes to the CoveoTab component.
    See the code and Attributes table below.
