Welcome to advanced search. At the top,
00:03
you'll be able to search for any content
00:06
or people in the community. So this could
00:09
be someone like Charles, for example, or it
00:13
could be a keyword, like community results
00:21
for any people with the name community or
00:25
description as well as any content with
00:28
that title or keyword on the left-hand
00:31
side of the third page. We see three
00:34
options all people and content all is
00:38
going to show results for absolutely
00:39
everything and everyone in the community
00:41
at the top. We are going to see people
00:45
and for the down. We will contact you can
00:50
access the people and content sections
00:53
must specifically by clicking here. Let's
01:00
go ahead and select people first in
01:12
Spotify if you want to show results for
01:14
keyboard another word uses organizations,
01:19
these maybe your partner or your sponsors
01:23
charities or any universities that work
01:26
with people and everyone in the community
01:34
organizations. Quick enough filter
01:41
results by custom Fields that need to the
01:46
question that we asked users when they
01:48
crave a profile with us is what is your
01:51
area expertise, but this is likely to be
01:54
different for your community. You may
01:56
have more than one custom field or the
01:59
custom field may not be titled areas of
02:01
expertise at all. Maybe you can use it as
02:05
a filter to see more relevant search
02:08
results for example. I may be interested
02:11
in finding users with the area of expert
02:15
strategy. This is going to feel down this
02:19
list to highlight relevant users who have
02:22
chosen this area of expertise if we add
02:26
more custom field for example publishing
02:30
this is going to show us users who have
02:33
chosen either strategy or publishing or
02:37
both. Let's take a look now. Content in
02:42
content we have a different set of
02:43
filters first and foremost you can filter
02:47
by type of content that is are you
02:50
looking for Post documents or videos of
02:54
the filter by these types of content by
02:56
clicking on these buttons at the top I
02:59
can go ahead and click video or I can
03:02
switch on this year. I mean want to be
03:05
more specific with my search for example.
03:08
I may want to find a video in a specific
03:11
channel this video here exist in the news
03:16
channel and I know that it's a channel
03:18
because this bubble here is green as if
03:22
the channel filter. It will be true for
03:24
rooms Sean and blue badges showing
03:28
purple. Let's go ahead and select the
03:31
filter platform use to this channel over
03:34
here. We can type the name of the Channel
03:37
in this filter or alternatively we can go
03:40
ahead and selected here every single
03:46
video in platform news precise I could
04:01
for example click on this badge or find
04:04
it here to see documents or videos with a
04:07
badge expert interviews and click the
04:12
badge as you can see now the badge has
04:15
now been ticked and every single results
04:17
here will contain the expert interviews
04:20
bad. So now that I want find content
04:24
which is a video that has the expert
04:27
interviews badge and it has been
04:30
published in the team hangout prawn this
04:33
content here simple and Anything should
04:37
appear at the very top of results now. I
04:41
can come here and I can find the team
04:43
hang out and then we go then go and ask
04:47
anything is at the top if we add
04:50
additional filters like channels the
04:52
result list expands. This is because now
04:56
we are finding content with the expert
04:58
interviews bad published in the team
05:01
hangout room in the Channel knowledge,
05:04
Communities we can remove any filters by
05:08
clicking on the access here all by
05:11
clicking on the access at the top last
05:17
but not least you can make your search
05:19
even more specific by using this
05:22
information here at the top go ahead and
05:26
select people with a keyword community.
05:34
At the very top we see that silver
05:37
community team is Sean this is good
05:40
because Silver has the word community in
05:43
their name so it makes sense for them
05:46
showing at the top however. I'm looking
05:49
for an individual as opposed to a team
05:52
maybe I would like to remove team from
05:56
Search results. I can do that with it at
06:01
the very top search - engine only records
06:08
containing search and not engine will be
06:10
shown so for example so the community
06:13
team we want to leave the community but
06:17
remember we are trying to find us so we
06:22
can come here and we can play - team and
06:26
now so has been removed from the very top
06:29
of the results. Thank you for watching
06:32
and we hope that you and your Can enjoy
06:35
the advanced search feature from the
06:37
metre if you have any questions or would
06:40
like to know more please don't hesitate
06:41

06:43
