How do I find content in the administration? #

Three tools find content: the search box for words, Advanced search for filters, and the Content finder when you know an id, path or address.

Who can do this #

Every user with content/read. You find only what your role may read.

Steps #

1. By words: type into Search... in the top bar and press Enter. The results list the matching objects, best first.
2. With filters: open Advanced search (in the search results, or Dashboard > Advanced search). Choose a class, and for it the attribute to search; a section; when it was published; and below which place. Click Search.
3. By id, path or address: type into Content finder in the left column, for example 275, /news/summer or the address from the site, and click Find.
4. Click a result to open it.

What can go wrong #

• A new object is not found. The search index is updated by a cronjob, a few minutes after publishing. Use the Content finder or the tree in the meantime.
• Too many results. Put words in quotation marks for an exact phrase, or use Advanced search with a class.
• Nothing is found but you know it exists. It may be in the trash, hidden from your role, or in another language of the site.
