Is it possible to use the CC Search on another page?

Is it possible to embed the Community Search in another page?

Use case: the CC search (via federated search) searches through Community and our User Guide (html5 webpage). Could we, for example, replace the search in our User Guide so that it also includes Community topics?

If direct embedding is not possible, do you see other possibilities to get this done?

    Hey ​@Jef Vanlaer - what we quite often see is a two-way federated search.  So assuming that your User Guides site supports it, you could connect it to our API to also search the community and display those results alongside the User Guide results.  Would that work for you?

    Hi ​@Kenneth R 

    Thank you for the response. The current search engine on our user guide does not support federated search, but at least I have a pointer for a potential future path forward now.
