Searching your website content

  1. Open the website you want to search.

  2. Click Inventory in the sidebar.

  3. Select Search.

  4. Enter the text you want to find within the site’s content.

How search works

  • Searches require a minimum of three letters.

    For example, searching for "to" will return no results, but searching for "top" will work.

  • Search matches whole words exactly.

    For example, searching for "and" will not match "sand".

  • When you search for multiple words, pages containing all of the words are ranked higher than pages containing fewer matches.

If no pages or documents are shown, the search has still run successfully. This means that no content matches your search terms, or that the query is shorter than the three-letter minimum.
