To  include requests and approvals in the Top Hits tab

2. Click Search. 
3. In the Include in Top Hits results section, select Requests and approvals.

To enable natural language searching 

As the BMC Digital Workplace administrator, you can enable natural language searching. This feature is enabled by default.

Natural language searching enables end users to search in BMC Digital Workplace by using conversational language (such as I need to order a new laptop) instead of a keyword-based search. The search engine picks up the meaning of a sentence or word group, recognizes the end user's intent, and displays more accurate results compared to the standard search mode. Natural language processing makes search more end-user oriented and easy to use. This option reduces the time spent on searching because it defines the category of the end user's intent. To enable natural language search:

1. In the BMC Digital Workplace Admin console, navigate to the Configuration tab.
2. Click Search. 
3. In the Natural Language Searching section, click the Enable toggle key.
   
4. Click Save.

If the Natural Language Searching feature is enabled, an end user can see:

• Additional resources in the Related items section. 
  If there are no additional results, the Related items section is not displayed. The following image shows the Related items section:
  

• Remaining results in the See more section.
