Can I add a source to my keyword search to help filter the content I want searched?

[Christie]

Let's say I have KBs, Doc and Communities.
I want to do a search but only search KBs.
Is there a way in the search bar to put a search string and the source I want to search?
As it is today, I have to search and then filter down to the source.
I have seen this before with ES as a possibility but we never had it implemented: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-search.html

@sumit-aggarwal Yes- that idea would solve our issue is applied to Article Id as well. Let me know when it's ready to test!

Hi @Christie We already have an idea in our backlog around this, although it is quite old. It was suggested by someone from our team but it didn't receive many likes and it never got picked up. Please look at this post: https://community.searchunify.com/topic/81/facet-enhancement
I think something like this would meet your requirements too.

Thank you!

@ChristieJoy There is definitely a possibility of passing the content source like KB in the URL for your search. Doing it through the box would be possible as well. For that, I suggest you check with your implementation team.

An example of url based approach is https://community.searchunify.com/search#!/search?searchString=content source&aggregations=[{"type":"_type","filter":["community"]}]&uid=59b2682e-b09a-11ea-8cf8-ea4d55341fa1 Please notice the type filter and its value as community in url.

Let me know if this helps.
