Searching

Search overview

Almost any type of content can be searched in HighQ, including:
  • the full text of files in the Files module,
  • wiki pages,
  • tags added to a blog post, etc.
As with the rest of the platform, you can only find content that you also have permission to view.
Different areas of a site provide different search tools and functions:
  • From the
    Dashboard
     - search all content modules (except iSheets) across every active site that you can access with the search box in the top navigation bar, with
    All
     selected
  • From the search results and
    Advanced Search
     page - you can limit a search to a specific module across every site where you have access
  • You can search all content modules in a specific site (except iSheets), either from within that site or from the search results page
    • iSheet data is searched separately from other content.
  • You can limit a search to a specific module in a specific site from the search results page
Search improvements
As of April 2022, improvements allow you to search for Client or Matter numbers (if entered in
General site settings
):
  • You may now filter for Client and Matter numbers in general and advanced search
  • You can only enter a client or matter number that exists on your instance (i.e. entered in
    General site settings
    )
  • Type to see a list of any matching client or matter number:
  • If you enter multiple client or matter numbers, all applicable results are returned (i.e. it uses an OR function)
  • Client and Matter numbers are
    not available
     if you filter by Site
Searching for comments
The following features are available when searching for comments:
  • When a user clicks
    View
    comment
    , the user is taken to the page and shown the actual comment location on the page, which is highlighted
We have also released a beta feature you can request to have enabled (via the HighQ Support team) that uses a new search service that improves global search. If enabled, this improves search speed by 60% and you see the following enhancements:
  • The system displays an unlimited amount of search results and no longer stops counting at 500.
  • The first 20 results are shown as soon as they are available even if the total number is not known.
  • The number of results continues to mount until the total number is known
