The Search-In-Place Touchpoint is an embeddable integration that enables users to search your knowledge from any of your web properties or web applications.

Example use case

The Search-In-Place Touchpoint can provide a Touchpoint for Community experience, empowering customers to self-serve by extending knowledge into your community, support ticketing, or customer contact forms.

An embedded Search-in-Place Touchpoint enables your customer to access additional information that helps inform their buying decision, and they place an order.

  2. The customer adds the product to the shopping cart and is about to check out when they have a last-minute question about the product.
  3. They are ready to leave your site to search the internet for answers, but they notice your search-in-place Touchpoint in the shopping cart.
  4. The customer enters their question into the search bar and finds an article in the results list that answers their question.
  5. They read the article and the information confirms their decision to purchase.
