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.
  • The 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.

Example

Copy 
<a class="CoveoTab" data-icon="coveo-sprites-file-small" data-tab-id ="1" data-show-scoped-search-selection="true" data-id="b29924a9-ec32-4c10-8892-a544b69ee121" data-expression='{searchboxquery}
 FederatorBackends:"SmartHubElastic"'
data-caption="Everything"></a>
