What must be done to set up Federated Search?

To set up Federated Search, it's essential to add the external search provider as an external data source. This step is crucial because it establishes the connection between the Experience Cloud platform and the external search service, allowing users to retrieve and access information from both internal and external sources seamlessly.

By integrating the external search provider in this manner, organizations can leverage the comprehensive data and capabilities offered by the external search platform directly within their Experience Cloud environments. This setup fosters a more unified search experience, improving user satisfaction and efficiency when seeking information.

The other options do not directly contribute to establishing federated search. Linking an external search provider to an internal database might be relevant in traditional search contexts, but for federated search, it is about managing external data sources. While training users and configuring security permissions could support the overall functionality and security of the experience, they are not foundational steps for setting up federated search itself.
