Your administrator will help you obtain the needed information. You’ll need your API Key, Experience Key, Business ID, Locale, the URL of the search results page, and a version number for our javascript library ### How does the plug in work? Search bar: Under the hood, this shortcode calls our Answers Javascript Library to create the search bar component using your provided configuration.
