Search Topics

There are two different methods for searching topics:

Search allows you to search on general document information such as File Type, Name, or Folder, and works the same way as for other modules.  Read more about using Search.

Content Search allows for a more in-depth search for all instances of the search term within the content of the topics. The term will be highlighted in the results panel, allowing you to see the context of the term for each result.
