When you enable unified search, users can view search results from public and private content on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} when searching from {% data variables.product.product_location_enterprise %}.
Users will not be able to search {% data variables.product.product_location_enterprise %} from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, even if they have access to both environments. Users can only search private repositories you've enabled {% data variables.product.prodname_unified_search %} for and that they have access to in the connected {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} organizations. For more information, see "[About searching on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}](/articles/about-searching-on-github/#searching-across-github-enterprise-and-githubcom-simultaneously)" and "[Enabling private {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} repository search in your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} account](/articles/enabling-private-github-com-repository-search-in-your-github-enterprise-server-account)."
Searching via the REST and GraphQL APIs does not include {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} search results. Advanced search and searching for wikis in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} are not supported.
