App vs. Profile Settings

The SearchStax Site Search solution features are scoped at either the App level or the Profile level:

  • App level – All profiles share this setting for the feature
  • Profile level – Each profile can have a different setting for this feature

If an App uses multiple Language Experiences, each language hosts its own set of Profiles.

When creating a new profile, you can optionally copy the settings of another profile as a convenience.

The following table summarizes the distribution of App-level and Profile-level features:
