Quick Search v3 extends v2 with an optional visitor-facing AI Search toggle. When enabled, the search query is prefixed with ?{}? to route to ContentAI-powered semantic search.
Quick Search v3 with a configured Search Root. With the AI Search toggle off, behavior matches v2 fulltext search.
When the visitor enables the AI Search toggle, the component prepends ?{}? to the fulltext query parameter. Use the browser network tab to inspect the search request when testing semantic search.
Template authors can hide the visitor-facing toggle via the v3 design dialog property hideAiSearchToggle. When enabled, the component behaves like v2 and only performs fulltext search. On AEM 6.5, the toggle is hidden by default.
