# Create a search source for AI Search

Make searchable content from an indexed source available in user search experiences by defining a search source.

You must have an indexed source defined. For more details on setting up indexed sources, see [Create an indexed source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/create-indexed-source-ais.md).

Define at least one search source for each of your indexed sources. You can define multiple search sources that reference the same indexed source, specifying distinct filter conditions for each.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Search** > **AI Search Index** > **Indexed Sources**.

2.  In the Search Source Mappings related list, select **New**.

3.  On the Search Source form, fill in the fields.

    For a description of the field values, see [Search Source form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/ai-search/search-source-form-ais.md).

4.  Select **Submit**.

    The new search source appears in the Search Sources related list.
