Hello,

i would like to ask you if there is a way how to integrate search results from forum into completely different website 🤔

Lets say a user visits our main website (not forum) and performs some search there. It would be nice if relevant search results from our forum will appear there too, but our forum is now completely independent on our main website 🤔 Is this possible somehow? Thank you.

It all depends on your setup, how sessions work(if permissions should be respected etc..) and if the results should really be shown on the external site or if it's fine to just redirect to the IPS search results page.

 

If you need only the results and want to show them on your website,  I would suggest utilizing the REST API https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/search/GETindex

The best solution would be if the names of the relevant threads could be shown on the main website search results and link directly to our forum 🤔 Good example is on https://www.vodafone.de/.

So the REST API might be a solution, thank you 👍
