I would like to share an issue we’re seeing with **Quick Chat embedding** and ask for guidance on the correct or expected behavior.

* * *

## Context

We are embedding **Amazon QuickSight – QuickChat** using  
**amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk v2.11.1**.

Our goal is to configure the chat experience as follows ( **expected behavior** ):

- Users **cannot switch knowledge bases mid-chat**

- **Web Search should be enabled**

* * *

Configuration  
based on [GitHub - awslabs/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk: A SDK to help users embed QuickSight dashboards on other pages.](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk#quick-chat-embedding)

```auto
promptOptions: {
  showWebSearch: true,
  showAgentKnowledgeBoundary: false,
}

```

* * *

## Actual behavior

With this configuration applied:

- **Web Search is hidden ( Where I need to be visible)**

- **Knowledge boundary selector is also hidden**

In other words, enabling `showWebSearch` while disabling `showAgentKnowledgeBoundary` results in **both controls being hidden** , which is not what we expect.

* * *

## Community pulse check 🗳

- What could be the solution ?

If anyone has a working configuration or guidance, it would be very helpful.

* * *

## Environment

- **SDK:** amazon-quicksight-embedding-sdk `2.11.1`

- **Experience:** QuickChat Embedding + React / Next.js

- **Embedding:** iframe-based, registered user

Hi @nsabadysh,

Welcome to the Quick Community and thanks for bringing this to our attention! This is definitely interesting behavior that is occurring. Given that Embedded Chat is a new feature, the web search still being hidden could be currently native behavior for the embedding.

I would definitely recommend [creating a support ticket](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/case-management.html), as AWS Support may be able to assist you further (or at least confirm if my thought is true).
