A Search Template is a pre-built Cludo solution that bundles a search input with a results display, so you can drop search onto a site without building the UI yourself. Templates ship with default styling that you can customize. Search Templates are not exposed through the public API. If you are integrating against the API directly, you are not using a Search Template — you are building your own front-end against the Search endpoint (and optionally the React components Storybook). Two global templates are supported today:
  • Rich Inline Template — results appear on a dedicated search results page. This replaced the deprecated Legacy Inline Template. See How to implement the Rich Inline Template.
  • Overlay — results appear in an overlay on top of any page once a search is performed. This is implemented through the Implementation tab in MyCludo.
If the pre-built templates don’t fit your needs, you have two alternatives: a custom template (talk to your CSM) or building your own front-end against the API.
For the full walkthrough — when to pick which template, what each one looks like, and how to customize the styling — see the Help Center article What are search templates?.
