# CommunitySearch Lightning component
The `CommunitySearch` Lightning component lets you 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:CommunitySearch/>
</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) library, and the Coveo for Salesforce specific assets.

> **Note**
>
> Since Lightning Locker is automatically enabled on this component, the [underscore result templates](https://docs.coveo.com/en/413#using-the-underscore-engine) aren't supported.
> You must use [HTML templates](https://docs.coveo.com/en/413#using-the-html-engine-recommended) instead.
