# 1.5 Setting up Remote search

## Setup

To add remote search to an Embed Flow, at least two steps are needed:

1. [Form Helper](/connectors/helpers/form-helper.md) step, where the form that the end user sees can be configured (needs to be placed before the Connector step)
2. Regular Connector step, which supports Remote Search

### Form Helper

The setup is almost the same as [explained in detail here](/connectors/helpers/form-helper.md), but an additional parameter `remoteSearch` is required.

The value for this parameter needs to be a reference to the Remote Search enabled field in the Flow, so if the Flow looks like this:

<figure><img src="/files/LlRezDLM7qA9HUstxbSY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It would e.g. be `"remoteSearch": "get_account.account_id"`.

{% hint style="info" %}
The field reference can be seen when toggling Advanced view on and looking at the tooltip for the corresponding field.
{% endhint %}

### Regular Connector

The Connector setup is as usual for an Embed Flow, however, in most cases the Remote Search enabled field will be filled with a reference to the Form Helper step.

E.g. in the example above: `{{ user_input.freshsales_company }}`.
