# Use AI Search for global search and configurable workspace search in Next Experience

AI Search is the default search engine for Unified Navigation searches in Next Experience, including global search and configurable workspace search.

Search administrators can configure global search and configurable workspace search settings using the AI Search for Next Experience application.

**Note:** The AI Search for Next Experience application is automatically installed and enabled in new Australia instances. If you upgrade to Australia from a previous release, your administrators can manually install and enable the application.
