When I specify a Search Context that has > 1 Resource Configurations in a Contextual Search utility, only knowledge records are returned.
To reproduce:
1. Create a new Search Context and choose 'Catalog only' for the searcher. Configure Contextual Search utility in VA Topic to use it and test with a term that should get hits in both resources. Only catalog results are returned.
2. Create a new Search Context and choose 'Knowledge only' for the searcher. Configure Contextual Search utility in VA Topic to use it and test with a term that should get hits in both resources. Only KB results are returned.
3. Create a new Search Context and choose 'Knowledge and catalog' for the searcher. Configure Contextual Search utility in VA Topic to use it and test with a term that should get hits in both resources. KBs are returned. No catalog results are returned.
It seems we can't get combined results from KB and catalog. Anyone else run into this?
Thanks!

I'm interested in learning how you set up the "Show previous, Show more, Try different search" stuff. I get its a loop with a static choice and decision. How do you get it to traverse the articles like that though? I see an index variable, so I'm guessing you are taking advantage of that?

Hi rakunkel,
It can return both KB and Cat items, there is an oob searcher called - Incident Deflection (091fa3d3c37221003d2ae219cdba8f0e) try this one instead of creating new.
Thanks
