Search Center

Embed a Search Center on your website

A Search Center ID flowing through a runtime script into a search interface on a website page

Use the generated Embed code when the Search Center should appear inside a page you control. The embed needs the Seekdown runtime, one container, and the Search Center's srch-… ID.

Add the public embed

The documented structure is:

<script src="https://saas.seekdown.ai/js/seekdown-assistant.js"></script>

<div id="seekdown-assistant-root"></div>

<script>
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    if (window.skdwn && window.skdwn.startAssistant) {
      skdwn.startAssistant({
        assistantId: 'srch-your-search-center-id',
        accessToken: ''
      });
    }
  });
</script>

Replace the sample ID with the value from your Search Center's generated snippet. An empty access token is appropriate only for a public Search Center using None authentication.

Place it deliberately

Add the container where the search experience should render. Give the page enough width for the result cards and test its height after both a short and a long answer.

Do not add the same container ID twice on one page. The runtime targets #seekdown-assistant-root.

Verify the implementation

Input or action	Expected output	How to verify
Load the page	Search interface appears in the container	Check the browser console for script errors
Choose a suggestion	The query runs	Confirm the selected text and result
Ask a known question	Correct answer and documents appear	Compare with the expected source
Open a source card	Original page opens	Check destination and supporting text
Resize the page	Interface remains usable	Test narrow and wide viewports

Diagnose a blank embed

Check the runtime URL, container ID, Search Center ID, and initialization call in that order. For a private Search Center, also check the access token and Allowed origins.

Use the copied snippet rather than reconstructing IDs from a public URL. If anonymous access is not appropriate, configure a private Search Center before publishing the embed.
