# Instant Search Articles

GET /api/v2/knowledge/instant-search

Type-ahead search for a help-center search box. Returns at most 5 published public articles as lightweight hits (title, slug, collection name, and a short snippet) with `totalCount` reporting how many matched overall so you can offer "see all results". Falls back to fuzzy matching when the phrase is too short or malformed for full-text search, so partial words and typos still return something. Use Search Articles for the full result page.
