How Instant Search Works in Zendesk Help Center
How does Instant Search work in Zendesk's Help Center?
Instant Search in Zendesk's Help Center uses a partial word search and only returns results based on article titles. This means that as you type, it will suggest articles whose titles contain the words you are entering, even if you haven't typed the full word yet.
This feature is designed to help users quickly find articles by suggesting possible matches as they type. However, it is limited to searching only within article titles, which might not always provide comprehensive results. If you want to disable this feature, you can remove it from your theme.
