The Basics
Search for content by using Hed, or title, of the content.
When you know the exact name you're looking for, surround the text with quotations marks for more efficient searching. Like this: "Road Tripping Through Northern Morocco"
Use the search filters to help narrow down your results. You can filter by content type, publish date, status, channel, subchannel.
To find syndicated or archived content, click on the "more" option in the search filters.
If you're looking for content that a certain person worked on, search by collaborator. Type the name of the person you are looking for, and if that person has hit save in a piece of content, it will appear in your results.
Depending on your query, you may see up to five "Quick Search" results display before you submit your query. Click on a quick search result to jump directly to that item.
