# Configuring contextual search

# Configuring contextual search {#ariaid-title1}

You can configure different components of contextual search.
* **[Contextual search properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wZATPoPCkByTpvuxB~3E1w)**   
  Contextual search properties are used to control the fields that you can search from and the number of results displayed per page.
* **[Define a search context](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Eyrypx1LT5nTPbFwjJP1Jg)**   
  Define where agents can search for a particular resource. You can specify that the search resources are predefined or additional resources outside the system.
* **[Configure table for a contextual search](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QBqCqM5efblPiSQ_LYnPbA)**   
  Configure the options for the contextual search that a table performs.
* **[Filter configuration for contextual search](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~wCjlEyyceLEyLqFcf0vPw)**   
  Define filter configurations to map fields from the form to provide a more targeted search result set.
* **[Configure search resource context properties](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AxbPYcW5tQtYs~vuaEnR~A)**   
  Configure the properties to limit the search to a specific catalog or knowledge base. For example, if you want to limit the knowledge search to an IT knowledge base or a service catalog search to software service catalog, you can configure the properties.
