Search queries can be constructed and run from a valid URL path. The URL must contain the root URL of a digital workplace and the /?search parameter with a value (ex. https://customercare.igloosoftware.com/?search=cat). Additional parameters (described in the table below) can be appended to a query to add additional specificity.
This functionality can be used to create links or CTAs that perform a specific search.
Query results are displayed on the normal search results page.
| Parameter | Usage |
|---|---|
| ?search={search term} | Replace {search term} with the term you want to search. This parameter is a mandatory part of any URL search queries. |
| &app={content type} | Replace {content type} with a comma-separated list content types, or a single content type. Available options include:
This will restrict search results to only the specified content types. |
| &updatedBy={user's GUID} | Replace {user's GUID} with a user's unique 16 character alphanumeric identifier. Administrators can find these values on the Manage Members page by using the inspecting the HTML on the action button next to a user's name. |
| &updatedDateType={time period} | Replace {time period} with one of the following time periods:
|
| &parent={location} | Replace {location} with the relative URL path of the location you want to search for content in. Substitute slashes with %2F. Example: /deptartments/marketing-> %2Fdeptartments%2Fmarketing |
| &labels={label ID} | Replace {label ID} with a comma-separated list of label IDs. Administrators can find these values on the Manage Labels page by using the inspecting the HTML on a label's name. |
| &archived=true | Add this value to include archived content in your search results. |
| &field={profile field} | Not functional. While this appears when you select a profile chip (e.g. My Interests), it does not restrict the search to only that field. |
