The OOTB Service Catalog has a search feature that produces a list of suggested matches after typing three characters into the search box. You can search on the title and description of Service Catalog items. The drop-down list of suggested results shows up to five suggestions. Select the More link to view additional suggestions. Select the Search button or press Enter to view all search results.
The Cards with Search style was introduced to the OOTB Service Catalog in CSM 9.2.0. If you upgraded from a version of CSM after 9.2.0, you can implement the Cards with Search or Cards with Search v2 styling.
The number of columns adjust according to the size of the user's screen. When a user's screen size is small enough that only one column of cards is displayed, the card icon will be hidden.
