Searching and Navigating
There are many ways to search, navigate and find your content in Paligo.
Using the Content Manager. The most obvious way to navigate content is to browse your folders and topics in the Content Manager.
Navigate through the structure of Publications. You can also show a publication where you have reused topics already in the Content Manager, and navigate through that. Just unfold the publication and click on the topics reused in it to edit them.
Similarly, you can navigate through publications using the Structure View:
Open a publication in the Structure View.
Select and click a topic name.
Scroll down to view the Metadata section.
Find the heading Location. and click the location. This will open the folder where the topic is located.
Using Quick Search. The Quick Search is located at the top right of the editor. It gives you a very quick and convenient way of finding anything, and all search results are categorized according to the type of content.
Filter search in the Content Manager. At the bottom of the Content Manager you can access a filter search to scan the Content Manager. You can narrow down the list of folders, topics, images, etc. Either just type free text to filter on, or use the Search options to narrow down what to search for, e.g only images:
Taxonomies. You can easily find content you have tagged with taxonomy categories by just clicking on the category in the Taxonomy Manager. See The Taxonomy Managerfor more information.
Advanced Search. Finally, you have the most powerful search of all, the Advanced Search. This allows you to search content in an even more granular way. See Advanced Search.
Exact Match and Close Match Search
When you use the search features, you can perform an exact search or a close match search.
Close match
Paligo uses a close match search by default. When you enter a term, Paligo finds any content that contains the words in the search term. It does not matter if the words in the search term do not appear next to each other or in a different order.
To perform a close match search, enter your term in the search field.
Exact match
With an exact match, Paligo will only find content that has the search term. The search term has to appear in the content in the same order as it is defined in the search term and cannot have other words inbetween.
To perform an exact match, enclose your term in double-quotes. For example, "temperature controls"
Using wildcards
In the different types of search you can also use wildcards to find content.
Note
You need to check the box Enable wildcard search next to the search field to use wildcards.
Use an asterisk (*) to represent one or many characters, or use a question mark to represent any single character. You can use these symbols anywhere in the search string.
For example, automati* would find both "automation" and "automatic", and automo?i?e would find both "automobile" and "automotive".
