In-app Search
In-app Search lets you focus your search within a specific Magnolia app, such as Assets or Pages, making it easier to find content in large collections. It searches text fields like Name or Title and works seamlessly with app-specific filters to deliver precise results. Search is also available in chooser dialogs for apps using JCR-based data sources.
