Disable Self Help Search Suggestions

Prev Next

To yield relevant results on Self Help, Whatfix uses a matching ability that suggests the right results, even when the search term is incomplete. Whatfix also suggests the right search results when the search query is misspelt or mistyped. Your end user will only see this suggestion if there is any content with an alternative search term that is mapped to Self Help. For more information, see Understand how Search works in Self Help.
