    What about choosing "in this article" and "in this site?" in bullet or checkboxes, depending on how loosy-goosy you want to be.

    @Julie.L.787 Would I be correct in assuming that the new Search tool that searches "within an article" is NOT intended to replace the top-level "Have questions? Find answers here…" Search in: feature found on the Community homepage?

    @Renee.J.194,

    Thanks for chiming in here with your feedback! Yes, we believe that we will be able to support your search experience so that you are choosing to either search within an article or the entire site.
