Yes, you can search a Knowledge Base (KB) article in an Incident by Service Name field, but it requires some customization in ServiceNow. Here are the steps:

1. Create a new field in the Incident form to hold the Service Name.
2. Create a business rule or client script that will populate this new field with the Service Name when an incident is created or updated.
3. Modify the KB search functionality to include this new field in its search criteria. This can be done by altering the script include for the KB search or by creating a new search source that includes this field.

Please note that this is a high-level overview and the actual implementation may vary based on your specific ServiceNow setup and requirements.
