Search Tips

Page history last edited by Marianne Sheppard 2 years, 2 months ago

 

Browsing the Design Studio

  • The lifecycle on the home page provides a route to resources (assets) - just click on each node to access the pages you want to view.  You can also browse these through the folder structure.
  • Clicking on the Assets folder list all the individual resources in A-Z order

Searching the Design Studio

To search click in the 'Search this workspace' box. 

 

Keyword searching

Pages with the keyword in the title will auto-appear as you type or you can click on 'or search in page content for' link to show all results. Use these search tips to fine-tune your results:

  • A plus sign (+) before a word means it must be included in search results (eg: brown +cow returns pages that may contain "brown" but must contain "cow")

  • A minus sign (-) before a word means it must be removed from search results. (eg: brown -cow returns pages that contain “brown” but not “cow”)

  • Quotes ("") around a phrase returns that exact phrase (eg: "brown cow" returns pages that include the exact phrase “brown cow")

  • Also, search results are sorted by weight, which means that a page with a lot of the mention of the keyword will show up at the top of the list.

  • The order of search keywords does not affect score / output

 

Tag Searching

  • Adding e.g. tag:assessment anywhere in the search box will constrain the search to only look at pages tagged "assessment" (and their comments). You can't yet perform a search that will only look at pages tagged with both e.g. "assessment" and "inclusion". (I.e., you can only search with one tag restriction at a time). 
  • To seach for a 2-word tag, add quotes around the search term e.g. tag:"case studies"
  • To view all tags go to https://jiscdesignstudio.pbworks.com/tags.php

 

Searching for content in specific folders

  • Adding e.g.folder:Challenges employers in the search box will constrain the search to only look at pages in folder "Challenges" (and their comments) with the keyword 'employers'.This doesn't yet apply to files in that folder. Folder search terms are case sensitive.
  • Searching across attachment content (.DOC, .PDF, .XLS, .PPT, .TXT) is a feature currently availabe only to paying users.
