Filtering Documentation Search Results
Apply filters to narrow down a list of documentation results according to the topic.
Understanding the following information can help you filter documentation search results to better find what you need:
- By default, if you have more than one string with spaces between them in a free text search or in basic search mode, the Console finds resources containing any of the search strings. Search doesn't try to find resources containing all the search strings. For more information about free text searches, see Free Text Search.
- You can use either the in-page search box or the column headings in a list of search results to apply filters to the results. The Console reflects any changes to filters in both places.
- You can clear filters. For more information, see Clearing Resource Search Filters.
- You can change filters. For more information, see Changing Resource Search Filters.
- You can sort results. For more information, see Sorting Resource Search Results.
Using the Console
These steps assume that you already performed a free text search and selected the Documentation category of results according to the instructions in Performing a Free Text Search.
- On the Documentation page, in the list of results, click the Topic filter to choose one or more subjects to include in the filtered search results. (Here, "topic" refers to the subject matter rather than the topic title. Also, available topics depend on the results in the results list.)
- When you're ready, click Apply filter.
