Work with search results 

Filter the results that display on the Search Results page to find the information that is most useful to you. Your search term is highlighted in the returned results to make it easy for you to see whether it is being used in a relevant context.


About this task

The Search Results page displays when you perform any type of search in IBM Connections, except for the context-specific searches that are available in the different applications. When you select a context-specific search option, for example, the option to search My Communities in the Communities application, the Search Results page for that application displays. When you perform any other type of search in IBM Connections, the global Search Results page displays.

An icon next to each search result identifies which application the result is associated with.
