This article explains how to use the Global Search feature in IC 3.0. Global Search helps users quickly locate content across the intranet and connected SharePoint sites, even when it cannot be found through navigation. You’ll learn how to filter results, refine searches, and view detailed information about each item.
1. Overview
Global Search helps users quickly find content they can’t locate through navigation.
2. Filtering by category
After performing a search, users land on a results page that shows items from all categories by default. Results can be filtered by category: Docs & Forms, Pages, Images, Events, and People.
3. More filtering
Results can be further refined using the filter icon, such as:
-
-
Type
-
Site
-
Application
-
Author
-
Date range
-
Tags
-
4. Result details
Each search result includes a content snippet with matching terms in bold and the last modified date.
5. Include SharePoint files
By turning on the “Include SharePoint” toggle, files from connected SharePoint sites will appear alongside other content types.
Note: Search results are displayed based on the user’s permissions. If a user doesn’t have view permission for a piece of content, it will not appear in their search results.
With IC 3.0 Global Search, users can find exactly what they need faster, using categories, filters, and SharePoint integration to make results more powerful and precise.
