Usage notes

Legacy feature

This article pertains to the Coveo Hive framework which is now in maintenance mode.

Choose one of Coveo’s more modern, lightweight, and responsive libraries for any future search interface development. See the search interface Implementation guide for more details.

Coveo for Sitecore Specific Rendering The Default Frame creates an HTML layout containing high-level placeholders and commonly used section placeholders (for example, Search Section, Tabs Section, Facets Section). Hence, this frame rendering expedites the process of building a complete search interface, but at the expense of flexibility.

Usage notes

Adding the Coveo Search Interface rendering is a prerequisite to the insertion of the Default Frame rendering.

Example insertion sequence for the Default Frame rendering.

Coveo Hive SXA

The Coveo for Sitecore SXA package doesn't include frames and SXA sites are incompatible with the non-SXA Coveo Hive frame renderings. To position and size your Coveo for Sitecore SXA renderings, use Sitecore page structure renderings in combination with the SXA grid system.

Data Source Options

The Default Frame rendering has no data source options.
