Developer

The Coveo JavaScript Search Framework is a library that allows you to build visually rich, full-featured search interfaces.

These interfaces can work on their own or be integrated seamlessly on any site.

The Coveo JavaScript Search Framework is designed to be extensible and customizable by anyone familiar with standard web technology (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS).

Tutorial

If you’re new to the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework, you’re first encouraged to read the Getting Started Tutorial (see JavaScript Search Framework Getting Started Tutorial)

This tutorial is geared toward developers who have at least some knowledge of JavaScript. Having worked on a Node.js project before is also an asset.

Getting started

If you prefer not to do the tutorial, here are a few links to help you getting started:

If you’re using the On-Premises Search API, you should first and foremost see Use the JavaScript Search Framework with the on-premises Search API.
