I'm looking for a way to navigate to a platform's record form using the portal's search bar.

I want to change the behavior when searching for a record's field name using the portal's search bar.

Normally, using the portal's search bar searches the catalog and knowledge base articles.

I want to change this behavior so that when a record's field name is searched, the screen only transitions to the record's form if the field exists.

Is this possible by configuring AI search or similar?

 

<Search screen>

<Screen you want to transition to>

I think it would work if I implemented a script on the search results screen, but first I'd like to know how to set it up without writing any code.

To change the portal's search bar behavior so that searching for a record's field name only transitions to the record's form if the field exists, you should be aware that:

  • The AI Search configuration form allows you to set up search profiles, engines, and result limits. However, the "Enable Exact Match" option—which would allow direct navigation to a record if a field matches—is not supported in portals. Enabling this for a portal may cause navigation issues, and the system property controlling this is com.snc.agent_workspace.global_search.typeahead.exact_match_request_criterion_regex ​.
  • You can enable and configure AI Search for the Knowledge Management Service Portal, but this does not provide conditional navigation based on field existence .

To request enhancements or customizations to the portal's search behavior, I would suggest submitting a request through the Idea portal.
