Searching for Folders and Content
This section discusses search methods for folders and content.
In the content management system, users can use a number of functions and menu items to search for folders and content:
Search Folders (or Search Sections)
Enables users to search for folders by folder title, folder ID, parent ID, or by last item added.
Search Content
Enables users to use the search index to search for content using keywords.
You can search for items within content management in two ways:
Using the Search field in Global Search in the portal header.
The Content search group allows you to search for published content within the entire content management. The Content Archived search group allows you to search within archived content.
The facet feature on the search results page shows the published location of a content. If the content is published in multiple features, the search results display all the features that the content is published in.
Using the Search Content link on pages within Content Management.
The Search Content Management page allows you to search within the current folder or across all folders and portals and it will display unpublished content as well.
Maintain Content
Enables users to search for content by content title, content ID, content type, parent ID, date added, and inactive date.
