Steps to Integrate the Search Widget

Follow these steps to integrate the search widget into your site using the provided CDN script:

1. Whitelist Your Domains

To use the Search Widget, you need to whitelist the domains where you will deploy the widget. This ensures that the widget is only used on approved domains.

  • Update your searchTrigger settings to include the domains you plan to use.
  • This configuration is typically done through your admin panel or server settings.

2. Include the CDN Script and Configure the Widget

Add the CDN script to your HTML file and configure the widget using the provided options.

Here’s how to include the CDN script and configure the widget:

<script src="https://widget.lamatic.ai/search.js"></script>
<script>
  (function () {
    var SEARCH_DIALOG_CONFIG = {
      apiUrl: 'https://example-api.com', // Replace with your API URL
      workflowId: '12345-abcde-67890-fghij', // Replace with your workflow ID
      customButtonId: 'myCustomButton',  // Custom button id
      primaryColor: '#FF6347', // Tomato color for the search
      titleTextColor: '#2E8B57', // Sea green color for the title of the results
      subTitleTextColor: '#8B4513', // Saddle brown color for the subtitle of the results
      width: '50vw', // 50% viewport width for the dialog
      showNavHelperText: true, // Show the navigation helper text
      showEscapeHelperText: false, // Hide the escape helper text
      searchPlaceholderText: 'What are you looking for?', // Custom placeholder text
      searchDebounce: 300, // 300ms debounce time for API calls
      linkTarget: "_self", // Open links in the same tab
      breakpoint: 640, // Smaller-screen view at 640px
      fontFamily: "Verdana" // Custom font family
    };
 
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
      new SearchDialog(SEARCH_DIALOG_CONFIG);
    });
  })();
</script>
