Filtering
Use multiple parallel filters to quickly find content or narrow down your search results.
You can filter both full-text Find bar search results across apps, and in-app search results.
| The total number of search results is displayed at the bottom of the page so you can see how effective your search is and decide if you want to filter results further. |
The following default search result filters are available for Find bar:
-
Type - All types of content configured as searchable. By default, all content apps.
-
Tags - All the tags applied to your content in Magnolia.
-
Last editor
-
Last edited date
If you start searching when you have an app open, Magnolia automatically filters results based on the current app so you get relevant results straight away.
The following default content filters are available in the Assets app in addition to the in-app Search box:
-
Asset type
-
Author
Includes a Current user option to only display your own content. For SSO-based users, this is the only option available.
-
