Global Search

What does Search allow you to do?

Search allows you to look for and quickly surface results in Studio across Content, Initiatives, and Ideas.

  • You can examine many fields including Title, Author, Content Body, Attachment Names, Attachments (text search within attachments), standard fields and custom fields.
  • .zip files that contain text, PDFs, Docs, RTFs, and all other text-containing documents up to 50MB will surface results which was not included in the previous search.

  • Search results include a snippet to provide insight into why a result was returned.

Steps To Initiate Search:

  1. Click the search magnifying glass icon on the top navigation bar, An overlay will open with a search input field.
  2. Type in your keyword or query in the search bar to filter results.
  3. When you find what you're looking for, click on the asset to open it.

What shows up when you search?

  • After typing in your query, results will start to come in via the type-ahead searching.
  • Results are arranged into three categories by type: Content, Initiatives, and Ideas.
  • Search results are codified with appropriate asset type icons.
  • Snippets will show the matching query pieces in bold.

Search Logic

Use Boolean queries in global search: include AND, NOT, and OR to specify what you’re looking for.

The Kapost global search code is built to deal with "stemming".

  • For example, "keeled" does bring up "keel" because the stem of "keeled" is "keel." On the other hand, "kee" is just a grouping of characters not related to "keel" so it is not matched.
  • The Search Logic will use natural English language processing to help make words more discoverable in our search. With that in mind, “kee” is not a word in English so it doesn’t know “kee” and “keel” are related based on English syntax.
