 ## Optional Environment Variables
 
+- `ABOUT_APP`: If populated, an 'about' partial containing the contents of this variable will render on 
+`basic_search#index`.
 - `GLOBAL_ALERT`: The main functionality for this comes from our theme gem, but when set the value will be rendered as
   safe html above the main header of the site.
 - `TIMDEX_INDEX`: Name of the index, or alias, to provide to the GraphQL endpoint. Defaults to `nil` which will let TIMDEX determine the best index to use. Wildcard values can be set, for example `rdi*` would search any indexes that begin with `rdi` in the underlying OpenSearch instance behind TIMDEX.
