Searching for Content

Click on the Content tab to display the Content Search Manager. The Content Search Manager allows you to Search Content, Add/Edit Content, or Import Content by uploading a file.

To search for content, simply click on the "Search Content" link at the top of the Content Search Manager. Choose a Content Type from the drop down menu.  Content Types currently consist of normal or "static" Content, or the *Widget Content Type which is an advanced, re-usable, "dynamic" Content Type.  After choosing a Content Type, you may type keywords in any of the displayed fields to filter your search and find the previously created content as in the example below.

*For more information, please see the documentation on Adding a Widget Structure Type.
