How to Install AddSearch onto a Sitefinity Site

First, find your Site key by following these instructions:

3. Copy your site key under Your Site Key

Use our Search Designer tool to configure the widget according to your needs and copy the installation script. Then paste the script into your website template where you would like the AddSearch field to appear. Here is an example of what the script snippet might look like:

<script>
 window.addsearch_settings = {
  "asw_01": {
    "show_search_suggestions": false,
    "search_suggestion_position": "left",
    "default_sortby": "relevance",
    "display_date": false,
    "display_meta_description": false,
    "display_result_image": true,
    "link_target": "_self",
    "hide_logo": false,
    "direction": "ltr",
    "analytics_enabled": false,
    "automatic_filter_results_by_site_language": false
  }
} 
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.addsearch.com/v5/addsearch-ui.min.js?key=xxxxxx&id=asw_01"></script>

Apply the Script to your homepage using Sitefinity Admin
