Show suggested articles from other help centers within the company



Posted Feb 19, 2021

In our company we have several help centers.  We've enabled the search feature to look for articles in multiple help centers, however the webform that resides in each help center, when typing something in the Subject, it only shows articles from the current help center and it doesn't search through the enabled help centers.  It only works by searching in the help center page where it shows the articles of other help centers.  It will be great to be able to see suggested articles from other help centers as we don't have to duplicate them in each help center.

@... Thank you for the feedback! I have taken note and will feed it into our planning and prioritization though I cannot at this point promise when we may add this functionality.

If this was the default behavior that results from all multi celp center search configured help centers would show in the article suggestions, would you need the search results that are not from the current help center to indicate that somehow or not?

@..., Thanks for your comments.  From my point of view, I wouldn't need to show if they are coming from other help center.  Showing the suggested articles will be enough as if it were coming from one help center.

We have brands for different services, however, a customer may have access to multiple brands. Being able to have the 'Suggested Articles' scan all help centres would be hugely beneficial.

Good day @...,

Has there been any additional comment on this? Is there a workaround or a way to do this now?

Thanks,

Hi @..., unfortunately there is not work around at the moment other than duplicating the articles as you mention in the post, but we intend to add this functionality in the relatively near future.

Another couple of follow up questions I have for you and others interested in this thread are:

  1. Would you like results from other help centers to always show up in suggested articles when the two help centers are associated or are there cases where you in some help centers would like to only show suggested articles from that help center while still showing results from multiple help centers in normal searches (search box searches)?

  2.  Would it be beneficial to also suggest community posts in suggested articles (then we should call it something else of course) if you have it enabled in the multi help center search settings?

Thanks @....

1. In my case, as long as I have the help centers enable in search, it should show the suggested articles in the form.

2. It could be beneficial in the future, but I believe that as of today our brand doesn't have community posts enabled.

Thanks,

Julian Rios
