Hi @snowuser13 ,

Please follow the below Steps,

  1. Link Search Sources and Knowledge Bases:
    • Navigate to Service Portal > Portals and open your spkb portal record.
    • Locate the Search Sources related list. If your portal is new, this list might be empty.
    • Click Edit and add the relevant sources (e.g., "Knowledge" or "Service Catalog") to the portal.
    • Similarly, go to the Knowledge Base related list and add the specific knowledge bases you want to be searchable in this portal.
  2. Verify Portal Suggestion Limit
    • In the same portal record, check the Suggestion limit field.
    • If this is set to 0, no typeahead suggestions will appear. Change it to a positive number (e.g., 10).
  3. Check Widget Instance Options
    • Open your spkb homepage in the Service Portal Designer.
    • Edit the options for your Typeahead Search or Homepage Search widget.
    • Ensure the Contextual Search Sources field includes the sources you just linked to the portal.
  4. Confirm System Property
    • Ensure the system property glide.service_portal.search_as_you_type_behavior is set to Typeahead to enable the live results functionality. 

      Please give it a like if the solution is helpful for you .......
