# Publish an AI Search search profile

Publish a search profile to make pending changes to its settings take effect in linked search applications.

## Before you begin

Role required: ais\_admin

## About this task

To make a search profile's settings active in search queries, you must publish it. Publishing propagates the following settings to search application configurations that reference the search profile.

-   The set of synonym and stop word dictionaries linked to the search profile
-   Settings, blocked terms, and derived auto-correction terms for typo handling dictionaries linked to the search profile
-   Result improvement rules and actions defined in the search profile

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Search** > **Search Experience** > **Search Profiles**.

    **Note:** Search profiles with the **New** state display an alert triangle icon \[Omitted image "icon-alert-triangle.png"\] Alt text:. An informational message notifies you to publish these search profiles.

2.  Open the search profile that you want to publish.

3.  Select **Publish**.


## Result

The search profile appears in the AI Search Search Profiles list with **State** set to **Published**.
