User-Requested Feature

This functionality was developed based on direct feedback from the user community to enhance the discussion experience.

How It Works

The search scans the entire content of your community discussions. You can search for:

  • Post Titles and Content: Find posts based on words in their title or body.
  • Comment Content: Discover specific comments and see them alongside the post they belong to.
  • Author Names: Locate all posts and comments made by a specific community member.

  1. Navigate to the global search bar on your main CRM dashboard.
  2. Enter your search term. This can be a keyword, phrase, or author's name.
  3. Review the unified results list, which combines matching posts and comments.
  4. Click on any result to be taken directly to that post or comment within the community.

Why You’ll Love It

This feature eliminates the need to search separately through posts and comments, saving you time and providing a more intelligent way to explore your community's knowledge base.
