Keywords / Search terms

Using the following terms in your searches can help narrow the results.  Using the " " (double quotes) around the words will only show articles with that word/phrase.

 

Best Practices

Don't include "How do I" in the search.

  • Example: Create a Job will provide more accurate search results than How do I create a job.

In the example below, the Title of the article is "Create a Job."

The Tags are also keywords that can help narrow your search results.  Since there are several variations in names, titles, and descriptions; the Tags help you search for the article using other words/phrases.

General Tags/Keywords

Below are some of the example Tags that we can and can help you find your article quicker.

  • Using the " " (Double quotes) will cause the search to only search for that word(s).

Top links / header

We've added a couple new links to the header of our Knowledge Base.

The link, on the left side, will be the Platform that you are currently in.

There is also a new 'Support Center' link on the right side, just so all of our Platforms are listed.

Searches

 

Support Center

 

You now have the ability to search the articles in our Support Center KB

Previously, you had to go into a Category in order to see the Search bar.

Predictive Search

When you start typing, you'll notice a drop down of choices.  These results are based off of the Title of the article and not information in the article.  You'll only see a maximum of 6 results from the predictive search.

Searching Categories and Sections

When you are in a Category or section, and you use the Search bar, it will search all the articles in that Platform, but will only initially display the results from that Category/Section.

 

Example: I went to the General Category and searched for "create a job"

Notice the 65 results (which are in the General Category, but there are 305 results in that Platform)

Dates on articles

When searching for articles, the date displayed is the date that the article was last updated.

Note: The date when searching may not match the date listed as "Updated" on the article.

Search Filters

When you do a search, you'll see new filters on the left side.  This can help you narrow the results and find relevant articles.

 

The All Types filter is a placeholder for future filters.

The Articles filter will allow you to further filter your results to specific Categories/Sections.
