    このタスクについて

    If the keyword doesn’t have exact matches, its closest matches are displayed as Did you mean suggestions. This search functionality is also applicable in Service Portal.
    The search results are sorted in the following order based on the frequency of the keyword:
    • Catalog items whose Name field contains the keyword (top).
    • Catalog items whose Meta field contains the keyword.
      注:
      The Meta field is used for the Zing search, and if AI search is enabled, the field is used for the keyword search as well. If the Meta field is empty, the Zing search uses other sources, such as short descriptions and names.
    • Catalog items whose Description or Short description field contains the keyword.
    • Categories whose Name or Description field contains the keyword.
    • Catalogs whose Name or Description field contains the key term, or the catalog items whose Class field contains the keyword (bottom).
    注:
    • If your organization has multiple service catalogs, a search returns a result only from the catalog being viewed.
    • Search results return an item only when the item is active, has a valid catalog and category association, and you’re authorized to view the item.
