Global Search
Global search searches your Modern Campus CMS account for users, files (text-based, images, media, and other binary files), assets, groups, folders, components, dynamic content, and calendar events (if purchased).
This video was recorded in OU Campus v10. While the interface may have a slightly different look, the platform functionalities did not drastically change in the OU Campus 11 release.
To use global search, click the magnifying glass in the Main menu or Ctrl+`.
For items that are available account wide (such as assets and users), global search pulls results from your entire account. For items that are restricted to sites (such as pages and image files), the results depend on which site you run the global search from.
When entering search criteria, up to two variable characters are allowed (for example, searching for "cat" returns "cats" but not "catalog").
Search results are sorted by content type, with the first five results for each type displayed. Click an item to see additional information like location, last published date, or user level. Click Go To or Edit to view the item.
To view more than the first five results for a given type, click Show All. View search results for the highlighted content type. Sort items by title, location, last modified date, or last published date.
Click the name of an item to view it.
Click the More Actions 
menu for an item and click Preview to view it or Go To to go to its location in Modern Campus CMS.
Click the name of a different content type to view results for that content type.
