The setup has been vastly improved and no longer requires enabling components, setting up modules, and manually indexing the site.  When you install Joomla 4.0, Smart Search is there read for you to use!  Follow the steps and screenshots below to see where to find Smart Search in both the front end and back end of your Joomla 4.0 website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Front End<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The placement of the Smart Search field in a Joomla 4.0 site will depend on the theme that you use.  A default installation of Joomla 4.0 includes the Cassiopeia theme.  This screenshot shows where the search field appears in the front of a published site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search-1024x476.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search-1024x476.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search-1536x714.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla-front-end-search.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Smart Search field is located in the top right corner of the site header<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This field is where your users will type in their search query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back End<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Joomla Administrator (back end) requires that you log in to the administrator in order to access the interface where you can manage the search features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li>Log in to the Joomla Administrator Dashboard.<\/li><li>In the main menu on the left-hand side of the screen, click on <strong>Components<\/strong>.<br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" class=\"wp-image-89113\" style=\"width: 1000px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smart-search-back-end-1.jpg\" alt=\"Joomla 4.0 Main menu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smart-search-back-end-1.jpg 1230w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smart-search-back-end-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smart-search-back-end-1-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/smart-search-back-end-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><br><\/li><li>You will then see a list of items with one of them being labeled <strong>Smart Search<\/strong>.

Each component is described in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"components\">Components of Smart Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The components that make up Smart Search in the backend of Joomla 4.0 include:  Index, Content Maps, Filters, and Search Terms. You\u2019ll see a screenshot of each section below as well as a description of how to use it to improve the search experience on your Joomla 4.0 site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Index<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first item in the list is the section labeled <strong>Index<\/strong>. Previous versions of Joomla required that you manually index your Joomla site each time you added new content.  This was required so that Smart Search would have a reference to your newly added content.  Joomla 4.0 automates this process with an active index of your content so that you do not have to click on a button to index your site.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A site index is basically a map of your site.  This enables search engines to more easily locate content on your website. This is a screenshot of the index section on an active Joomla 4.0 site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"Example of Smart Search index\" class=\"wp-image-89115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/joomla4-site-index-example.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Example of a search index<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting at the very top of the index page, you can see a number of buttons that include Index, Actions, Statistics, Delete, Clear Index, Options, and Help. Options and Help are global options that allow you to control Smart Search or see <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joomla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joomla\u2019s documentation<\/a> on the feature.  The Options section is very extensive and will be discussed in a separate article \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/joomla\/joomla-4\/smart-search-options\/\">Joomla 4.0 Smart Search Options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Index button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first option that you see up top is the <strong>Index<\/strong> button.  Index allows you re-index the entire site.  Clicking on this button will start the Joomla indexing function that creates an index based on the content of the site.  Please be aware that if you have a very large site, then some time may be required for the indexing to complete. <em>When you are indexing your site (by clicking this button), do not close the window indicating that the indexing is in progress. You must wait for the indexing to complete.<\/em> Interrupting the process can create an incomplete search index affecting your site\u2019s search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/actions-button.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/actions-button.jpg\" alt=\"Select an index item then select an action\" class=\"wp-image-89116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/actions-button.jpg 935w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/actions-button-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/actions-button-768x372.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Select an index item, then click on the Actions button<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to use the <strong>Actions <\/strong>button, you will need to first select an item listed in your index. When you select an index item(s), you can select one of 2 options <strong>publish <\/strong>or <strong>unpublish<\/strong>.  When you update or remove content and you do not want those items accessible on the site then you can use the option to unpublish the item from the index.  Unpublishing content makes it unavailable on the front end of your website.  One of the main reasons for doing this is to keep search engines from indexing this content and keep it from being available in a search of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reason you may want to manually publish content may be due to content that you had previously unpublished but now want your website visitors to access.  Manually publishing or unpublishing search index content is done in order to control its searchability and accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Statistics button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Statistics for smart search index\" class=\"wp-image-89118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-index-statistics.jpg 1041w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Statistics information for the search index<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you go through each section of Smart Search, you will find that there are Statistics for Index and Content Maps.  In the screenshot above you can see that that the statistics for the Smart Search index is broken up into link type and count.  The link types include article, category, and tag.  You are also given a number for each item as well the total of all items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delete Button<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The delete button allows you to remove the index entry from your search index without affecting the actual published content. You may want to use the delete option when there is a problem with the search index. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"Using the Delete button in the Smart Search index\" class=\"wp-image-89121\" width=\"826\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/delete-button.jpg 1159w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Select an index item(s) and then click on the Delete button<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear Index<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"Clear Index button\" class=\"wp-image-89123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clear-index.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Use Clear Index with caution as it will remove your Search filters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the <strong>Clear Index<\/strong> option should be done with caution.

Your site could have thousands of articles or tags, and repeatedly finding that specific content may prove tedious without having a way to save a search. The filter option provides this functionality for your administrator so that you can easily manage your content to keep your Smart Search optimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you may have several articles that have a common tag that has not been created.  The filter allows you to pull existing articles and then identify those that have not been properly tagged. Saving the filter allows you to repeat the search as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-terms-not-enabled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/search-terms-not-enabled-1024x582.jpg\" alt=\"The gathering of statistics is disabled.
