Unlink search sources from a search profile to prevent their content from being searchable through that profile. Deleted search sources aren't automatically unlinked from search profiles.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais_admin

## About this task

Unlinking a search source from a search profile prevents its filtered content from being searchable through that search profile.

When you delete a search source, the system doesn't automatically unlink it from search profiles. In this case, you must manually unlink the search source from each search profile it's linked to.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI SearchSearch ExperienceSearch Profiles.
2. Open the search profile that you want to unlink the search source from.
3. In the Search Sources related list, select the search source that you want to unlink from the search profile.
4. Select Unlink Selected.

## Result

The search source no longer appears in the Search Sources related list.

## What to do next

To make the search source change take effect, publish the search profile you edited. For details on publishing a search profile, see [Publish an AI Search search profile](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/l6wF01JehzuwZnSN7XS5fA "Publish a search profile to make pending changes to its settings take effect in linked search applications.").
