    In reference to my last Comment,
    You can accept the parameter in endpoint as,

    <#assign search_query = http.request.parameters.name.get("QueryParameter","") />

It might not be the cause but I noticed that while in the endpoint you're looking for a "query" parameter:

 

<#assign search_query = http.request.parameters.name.get("query", "")>

 

 

in your JavaScript code it seems like you're passing a parameter with name "search_query":

 

$.get( "${kb_endpoint_url}", { search_query : queryValue } )/

This was not the case @NicoB, I have already tried these out. I only have a requirement where I can pass the value from my custom component text box to this endpoint and get the results back, any other ways?
