Searching for information

Use the search bar at the top of any page to search for information. Zendesk suggests articles based on keywords or phrases. Press Enter when you finish typing your search query. The results will appear on a list on the search results page.

If you don't see what you're looking for on the search results page, filter your search results by content type, Articles, or Community Discussions, then by category. You can select multiple categories at the same time to show content from different locations.

Use different operands to scope your search. For example, if you want to find content that contains multiple words, use double quotes (") around each word. For example, "first" "reply" "time". You can omit keywords by adding a hyphen at the beginning of the word -sso. For other operands, see the article: Searching for content.
