What is the Sidebar Search app in Zendesk?

The Sidebar Search app is a tool that helps agents solve tickets more efficiently by allowing them to search within Zendesk without leaving the ticket page. It enables agents to search for articles, tickets, comments, users, or organizations directly from the ticket interface. This functionality streamlines the process of finding relevant information, making it easier for agents to respond to support requests quickly and accurately.

For example, if an agent receives a support request about returning a pair of shoes, they can use the Sidebar Search app to look up related tickets using keywords like "return" and "order". This helps in gathering all necessary information without navigating away from the ticket they are working on.
