The Answerly Search widget is a very powerful tool that you can embed with code on any of your dashboard pages or website.


When embedded it works in a very simple way, you open up a page and just search for an answer.


The widget will give you very fast results by showing you a list of answers and actions which you can take to complete a task.


Here is a preview of how the search widget looks:
