I can't help you with that<\/code>.  Instead, the assistant can query existing company documents or data &#8211;  like a webpage &#8211; to see whether any useful information can be found and  shared with the customer. Therefore, the search skill searches for  information from a data collection that you create by using the  Discovery service. Discovery is a service that crawls, converts, and  normalizes your unstructured data. The product applies data analysis and  cognitive intuition to enrich your data such that you can more easily  find and retrieve meaningful information from it later. Typically, the  type of data collection you add to Discovery and access from your  assistant contains information that is owned by your company. This  proprietary information can include FAQs, sales collateral, technical  manuals, or papers written by subject matter experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>The following diagram illustrates how user input is processed when both a dialog skill and a search skill are added to an assistant.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/FelixAugenstein\/digital-tech-tutorial-watson-assistant-search-skill\/master\/readme_images\/search-skill-diagram.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this hands-on tutorial you will create a new IBM Watson Assistant and Search Skill \/ Discovery Service on the IBM Cloud and deploy your solution.
