Biel.ai vs built-in Paligo search

Paligo's HTML5 output ships with a client-side keyword search. It is fast and offline. Biel provides its own page-search widget plus an Ask AI handoff to the assistant. Many Paligo sites run both.

Before you install

Will it work with our HTML5 layout?

The widget can be added through the Custom JavaScript field in your publication settings. Check the Paligo installation guide for your layout.

Does it understand topic-based content?

Yes. Biel reads the published HTML, including topic text and code blocks, and links answers to the supporting pages.

Can we use different publications for different audiences?

Index the published URL for each variant you want to include. Use separate projects for variants with different readers or when answers must stay within one variant.

Does it work with versioned publications?

Yes. Index the published version URLs. Use separate projects when answers must stay within one version. Adding versions to one project does not automatically restrict answers to the page a reader is on.

Can we keep the built-in search?

Yes. Keep Paligo search, replace it with Biel's page-search widget, or run both. The Biel assistant remains a separate surface, and Ask AI can carry a search query into it.

How long does the install take?

Add the snippet to one Custom JavaScript field per publication. Indexing time depends on the size of the publication.
