# Search Lightning component (Obsolete)
> **Obsolete**
>
> This feature is no longer available as of the April 2020 release of Coveo for Salesforce version [4.2](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3236#april-2020-release-v4-2-initial-release).

The _Search_ Lightning component allows you to insert a search component in your Experience Cloud site.

It takes care of wrapping and including the correct scripts and different resources needed to do so.

> **Note**
>
> For a tutorial on how to implement a custom Lightning component, see [Integrate Coveo Lightning Aura components in a custom component for your Experience Cloud site](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1193/).

## Usage

Reference it in your Lightning component as you would for any other Aura component, using the namespace prefix of the Coveo package.

```xml
<aura:component implements='forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes'>
  <CoveoV2:Search />
</aura:component>
```

## Resources included with this component

This component includes the [Coveo JavaScript Search Framework](https://github.com/coveo/search-ui), the [jQuery](https://jquery.com/)(latest 3.x.x version) and [Underscore.js](http://underscorejs.org/) (latest 1.x.x version) libraries, and the Coveo for Salesforce specific assets.

## Aura events

This component inherits from the [Base Lightning component](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1149/), and shares all of its aura events (see [Aura events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1149#aura-events)).

## Options

This component inherits from the [Base Lightning component](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1149/) and supports all its options (see [Options](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1149#options)).

However, the default value changes for the following option:

### `name`

This option is set to `communityCoveo` by default when used with this component.

If this Visualforce component doesn't exist, you will be prompted to create it when inserting the Lightning component in your community.

You can reference another Visualforce search component by changing this option:

```xml
<CoveoV2:Search name="<MY_CUSTOM_SEARCH_PAGE>"/>
```

Where you replace `<MY_CUSTOM_SEARCH_PAGE>` by the name of the Visualforce search component you want to use.
