# Search support options

Whatfix enables you to provide end users with support options if they do not get any search results for their query. These support options enable end users to raise concerns about missing help content. Content creators can view end-user feedback and understand knowledge gaps in their help content.

**Provide feedback**

This feature enables end users to submit written feedback, which content creators can access directly from the Dashboard. This direct communication channel may help decrease the volume of support tickets you receive. It is available to all end users by default and cannot be disabled.
