Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website.

    Search Results

    When a resident runs their search query, they are directed to a Search Results page. On this page, they will interact with the Search Results component (including Search Results Cards) to find the answer they are seeking.

     

    Sapient will create Search Results pages, and will configure the Search Results component on the pages. Authors may edit the component once added, and may edit the rest of the page as normal.

     

    Note that the Search Results template is for global searches, across all of PA.gov. It does not include Side Navigation, and is not meant for agency-specific search pages. If an agency needs limited search capabilities (ex. DLI-only search results), they should contact Sapient, and a page will be built using the Agency Content Page template.
