Prior to Shinydocs Pro 3.0.1, Search was a separate installation. Since Shinydocs Pro 3.0.1, Search is automatically installed in the same location as Shinydocs Pro.
You can access Search from Shinydocs Pro Control Center by clicking on the Search icon in the navigation menu.
When Shinydocs Search is installed initially, data crawled with Shinydocs Pro is available immediately in Search without permission-checking. This should only be used for testing purposes and be properly configured with permission-checking. Please see our article Limiting Discoverable Items for more details.
Shinydocs Pro Search is an ASP.NET Core application running with Kestrel web-server technology. If you would like to host Search in Microsoft Windows IIS, please follow the information in this guide: Shinydocs Pro Enterprise Search with IIS.
