What is the Helpjuice 'Subdomain'?

The subdomain is the unique part of your Helpjuice URL (e.g., if your KB is at `mycompany.helpjuice.com`, your subdomain is `mycompany`).

Can I search for specific terms across my documentation?

Yes! Use the `search_kb` tool. It performs a real-time search across article titles and body content, returning the most relevant results from your knowledge base.
