- IRAP assessed at OFFICIAL:Sensitive — content stays in Australia
- No re-platforming — crawler-based, embedded in your theme
- Editors keep their existing GovCMS workflow
Live in three steps
Adding search to GovCMS is genuinely this simple.
Create a project
Add your GovCMS site as a project in the Quant dashboard.
Crawl your site
Click crawl. Quant indexes your content — rendering JavaScript where needed — and hydrates the search index.
Paste the embed
Copy the embed into your GovCMS theme. Search is live, no extra setup.
Embed it in your GovCMS theme
Choose how search should appear, then add it the standard Drupal way — a theme library plus a one-line template change.
Style it to match your site
Switch between light, dark, or auto with data-theme, set your brand colour with data-color, customise the placeholder, and hide branding — then override any element with CSS variables, so search looks native to your GovCMS theme.
/* Brand it with CSS variables */
#quant-search {

--qs-text: #0f172a;

}AI search for GovCMS FAQs
Does Quant Search work with GovCMS?
Yes. Quant Search crawls your live GovCMS site and you embed the search UI in your theme, so it works with any GovCMS site without re-platforming or changing your editorial workflow.
What kind of search is this?
AI-powered semantic search. It uses vector embeddings to understand the meaning behind a query — not just keywords — and returns the most relevant pages, with an AI-generated answer that cites the source content.
Can I style it to match our brand?
Yes — completely. Choose a light, dark, or auto theme, set your brand colour, customise the placeholder, and optionally hide branding, then override any element with CSS variables (--qs-accent, --qs-bg-card, --qs-font-family, and more) so search looks native to your GovCMS theme.
Is it IRAP assessed?
Yes. Quant Search runs on the QuantGov Cloud platform, which is IRAP assessed at the OFFICIAL:Sensitive level.
Does my content leave Australia?
No. Search and AI answers are generated on AWS Bedrock in Melbourne and Sydney. Content and queries stay in Australia.
How does the index stay fresh?
Re-crawl on a schedule or on demand, push pages via the API, and use webhooks for crawl and indexing events so the index reflects your latest content.
How hard is it to set up?
Create a project, click crawl, and paste the embed into your theme. There is no separate infrastructure to run and no special configuration to embed search.
