Recommended Search Results give you the ability to surface digital workplace content prominently in search results based on specific keywords and phrases. These terms are placed on content by workplace administrators, and when a user in your workplace performs a search that contains the term, the matched content will appear at the top of the search results list with a Recommended label.
Content that matches multiple terms will be featured above content that matches fewer terms. For example, placing the keyword "wireless" on a wiki article that contains instructions on how to connect to the office's wireless network ensures that the article will appear at the top of search results when the search term contains "wireless". Effectively applying terms to important content helps to reduce the amount of time users spend looking for the information they need to be productive.
Recommended Search Results are displayed in Userbar quick search results, in the Unified Search Widget, on the search results page, and on the mobile app's search results page.
