Did you ever get this figured out? I am currently trying to do the same thing and am still finding a lack of documentation on the matter.

What's the use case? What's your goal?

• Do you want to search in one table and select one record?
• OR: Do you want to search in one table and have a result set of multiple records?
• OR: Do you want to search in multiple tables and have different result sets?

For the 1st use case the "Select" component is very useful. It does all in ones. Searching in a selection list and give back data of selected item(record). 

Pls give more details. Then I can try to help you.

I am trying to implement just a general search field into the Service Operator Workspace. The main thing I imagine the users searching for would be knowledge base articles, but it would also be useful to have it set up so they can search for incidents/alerts/etc. Thanks!

I was able to get this working by replicating the search functionality from the auto-generated Search Page when creating a Service Portal experience from App Engine Studio.  On the landing page there's another example of a search box that submits & directs to the search page  that can also be helpful.  

To get an example experience and search page go to App Engine Studio > Create (or open) app > Add Experience > Select Experience: Portal > Begin ... Once you've created the experience, open it in UI builder and navigate to the example search page. 

The things to replicate are the Events, Data Resource, Client State Parameters, & Client Scripts.

I used the Search EVAM data resource for the data resource titled 'Search Composite Data Broker 1' on the example page.

Thanks for the tip on the Search EVAM data resource,  that seems to be the key to getting it to work. I expanded on how to get it set up in a related post since there still doesn't seem to be much documentation on it if anyone needs it.
