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.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The following procedure uses Incident Deflection as an example.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllContextual SearchSearch Contexts.
2. Open the Incident Deflection record.
3. View the Resource Configurations related list.  
   In the Resource Configurations related list, edit a resource configuration record to view the properties of the search resource.  
   The knowledge record displays the following knowledge resource configuration properties:{#t_ApplyConfigurationToSearch__table_x25_spb_lhb__entry__2}

   | Property | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Condition | Conditions to specify one or more knowledge bases to search. |
   | Exclude pinned articles | Pinned article is a knowledge article. This property helps to decide whether to exclude pinned articles from knowledge base search or not. |
   [Table 1. Knowledge resource configuration properties]

   {#t_ApplyConfigurationToSearch__table_x25_spb_lhb}  
   The catalog record displays the following catalog resource configuration properties:{#t_ApplyConfigurationToSearch__table_khp_ypb_lhb__entry__2}

   | Property | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Catalog name | A catalog name to search the catalog items. |
   | Search operator | Value of the operator is used in the Zing search engine to instruct how to combine the AND and OR conditions when parsing the search string. The integration of the search strings helps to [score](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MDC5irr1oMVYfPi~eobWAQ "The Zing search engine computes document scores based on the frequency, sequence, and weight of search terms in the document.") the displayed results. The value can only be one of the following values: * IR_AND_OR_QUERY (the default): Display results with exact matches of all terms if the number of results is greater than the value of the glide.ts.query.and_or_limit property (default 0) or the (overriding) value of the table custom attribute text_search_and_or_limit (when added). Otherwise display results with any matches of any terms. * IR_AND_QUERY: Display results with exact matches of all terms only. * IR_OR_QUERY: Display results with any matches of any terms. {#t_ApplyConfigurationToSearch__ul_lhp_ypb_lhb} |
   [Table 2. Catalog resource configuration properties]

   {#t_ApplyConfigurationToSearch__table_khp_ypb_lhb}
