Searchable content
When you search IBM® Connections, different types of information are searched for each application.
Search options
The following table lists the content that is searched for each application during a keyword or default search.| Application | Content that is searched | |
|---|---|---|
| Activities | Tags, titles, To Dos, entries, the titles of custom fields, and file attachments. | |
| Blogs | Tags, titles, content, and comments. Content from file attachments is not searched. | |
| Bookmarks | Tags, titles, descriptions, and URL strings if the bookmark points to a URL
that is not internal to IBM Connections. When multiple users create public bookmarks for the same URL, information for that bookmark is rolled up into a single set of summary information as part of the bookmark rollup process. For example, if 1000 users create a public bookmark for the same URL, when someone searches for that URL, a single bookmark is returned instead of 1000 bookmarks. The bookmark that is returned includes the information for all 1000 bookmarks rolled up into a single search result so that all the tags and people who are associated with each individual bookmark are included. In addition, when two or more users create public bookmarks for the same public internal document, for example, a wiki page, then the wiki page gets rolled up with the bookmark. If the user then searches for the wiki page or the bookmark that they created to the wiki page, the tags and people who are associated with the bookmark and the wiki page are combined into the same search result. |
