Search channels and topics

Search looks across channel names, topic subjects and topic bodies, so you can find something without remembering which channel it lives in.

  1. In the header, select the Search channels & topics box (top of the main area — on the home and inside a channel).
  2. Type your query — for example a keyword or a person.
  3. Select a result to open the channel or topic.

Results appear grouped by channel and topic as you type. Selecting a topic opens it directly, with its channel as the breadcrumb.

Searching “security” from the sidebar

  • Multilingual — search matches German, French, Italian and English alike. It folds case and accents, so München finds Munchen and Konferenz finds konferenz, and it looks in subjects, bodies and video transcripts.
  • By meaning — the Search by meaning action finds passages that are semantically close even when they use different words.
  • In combination — for a “where is A mentioned together with B” question, use the knowledge-graph query, which requires all terms and expands the results.
