Content Search

Content searches provide a way to match your search terms against document content, embedded metadata, and asset views. The ability to search for content within each of these contexts is configurable and can be enabled or disabled according to your organization's preferences.

Searching content

Content searches can be performed in two ways, depending on your site's configuration.

Advanced search

  1. Use the Advanced search (sliders) button in the search bar to open the advanced search tool.
  2. Select Contents from the Search type dropdown menu.
  3. Type your search term into the Value line. Content searches are case-insensitive.
  4. Click Search.

Keyword search

After your site administrator has enabled this option, keyword searches performed in the search bar will include content matches. Do not include quotations in content searches, even when searching for quoted text such as a dialogue segment.
