Module 7: Finding content
A short module with a big effect: editors who search well stop clicking through the tree. Learners use the quick search and its scope, then the advanced search form.

Preparing this module
- Every learner's articles and images from modules 3 to 5 must be published, a few minutes before the module, so the search index has them.
- Check on your training installation that the search finds a freshly published article (some installations update the index in the background).
- Note the section your articles belong to (usually Standard), to explain lesson 7.1's step 4.
