Search community.canvaslms.com from another site?

I'd like to add a search widget to an existing faculty help site so faculty could search Instructure Community without leaving familiar surroundings. Wondering if anyone has already done this, whether there's an API, etc. Thanks for any info!

Unfortunately with the community platform we use to host the community there's not a publicly accessible API we can let users use to set up a custom search tool. However, you may be able to utilize Google's site search feature (i.e., using "site: community.canvaslms.com" in Google's search bar to create something similar that searches only the Instructure Community. I'm not well versed on how exactly you would accomplish this, but hopefully that gets you at least a good starting point.
