## Overview

A search results summary block that displays the number of search results found and the search terms entered by the user. The block only renders when search results are present and provides configurable styling options for text appearance, spacing, and layout.

## Common use cases

* Place this block at the top of search results pages for clear user feedback
* Use consistent styling with your search form and results layout
* Consider using center alignment for standalone search summary displays
* Enable max-width for better readability in wide layouts
* Adjust font size based on the importance of search feedback in your design
* Use appropriate padding to ensure proper spacing within search result containers

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/content/blocks/navigation/search/search-summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
