Can my Help Center search results show the edited date?

Question

Can my Help Center search results show the most recent edited date instead of the created date?

Answer 

Search results can be modified to show an article's most recent edited date. This can be accomplished by editing the code within the Zendesk theme.

1. In Guide, click Guide admin followed by the Customize design icon () in the sidebar.
2. Click the theme you want to edit to open it and then click Edit Code.
3. In the Templates section, select the search_results.hbs.
4. Search for date created_atin the template and replace it by edited_at:

   

Make this update in the knowledge base search results for articles and in the community search results for posts.

Publish the page template after the changes you made. Your search results will now show the most recent edited date instead of the creation date.
