Coveo for Salesforce 5.7

The Coveo Community Hosted Search Page component allows you to integrate a Coveo hosted search page in an Experience Cloud site. A Coveo hosted search page created with the Coveo search page builder is a feature-rich search interface that’s easy to integrate. It’s also fully configurable using the search page builder in the Coveo Administration Console. So there’s no need to make changes in Salesforce every time you want to change an option.
