To enhance the search features of an application, you can integrate the application with your SearchAssist application and leverage its extensive features. 

Integration with the SearchAssist application is a two-step process. 

• Creating client credentials in the SearchAssist application and enabling a communication channel.
• Configuring the client credentials in the third-party application to start interaction between the two. 

For more information on how to create a SearchAssist application and customize it to return desired results, refer to this guide.

To enable interaction with the SearchAssist application, you need to create a set of credentials, define the API scope for the credentials, and then, associate a communication channel with the credentials. Follow the steps listed below to complete this configuration in the SearchAssist application. 

Go to the Credentials page under the Manage tab. Click on Let’s Start to create your first set of credentials.

Under the Configuration tab, provide a name for the credentials.

Under the API Scopes tab, select the API scopes based on the SearchAssist features required in the third-party application and click Save.  For example, if you only want to enable the search feature of the application, you can select Full Search, Live Search, and Advanced Search APIs.

Next, to enable a communication channel, go to the Channels page under the Manage tab and Click Web/Mobile Client.

This page shows the App Details and Web Client details. These are the details to be configured in the third-party app or web client for interaction with the SearchAssist application.

To get the client credentials to be used in an app, click on App Details. Select the credentials created above from the drop-down menu. The other fields are automatically generated.

Save the fields generated here like the client ID, client secret ID, etc., and use them for communication with this SearchAssist application.
