Content Search

What is the Content Search feature?

Agility includes a powerful Content Search feature that allows users to search within Content, Pages and Assets for your specified search term. 

When would I use it?

• You have content you need to change in Agility but can’t remember exactly where it’s located 
• You have specific content or wording that needs to be changed across the site 
• You want to review content for accuracy across your site's pages for things like SEO keywords or meta descriptions 

How does it work?

You can search for any value that you expect to exist in your content. Results will be shown in order of relevancy and will be displayed in a tabbed pop-up panel where you can filter the results by All, Content, Pages, Components, Assets, Models or Settings.

Once you find what you’re looking for you can click the item to be taken directly to it!

Agility provides a powerful Content Search feature which allows users in Agility to search for field values used in Content, Pages, and Page Modules for the occurrence of a specific search term.

Common Use Cases

While there can be many reasons you may search for content, here are a few common use cases:

1. You have some content you want to change, but don't know exactly where (or if) it is in the CMS.
2. You have specific content that needs to be replaced across the site.
3. You want to review content for accuracies such as SEO keywords and meta descriptions across pages.

How it Works

Your search term should be a value that you expect to exist in a field value in your content. This could be in a Content Item, a Page Module within a Page, or a Pages Properties itself (i.e. SEO fields).

Results are returned in order of search relevancy, and can then be further filtered or sorted in the Content Search Report by clicking the View All Results link.

This will take you to the Content Search Report page:

Here, you can further filter results, by typing a value into the filter input:

You can also sort the results by clicking on the appropriate Column name, and toggle the ascending/descending directional arrows.

Once you've identified an item you should like to navigate to, you may click View Item to go directly to the item. Or, click the New Window icon to open that item in a new tab. This can be very when you need to make changes to multiple items.
