Hello everyone!
On the element14 Community, we have a search bar at the top of every page. This is standard Verint Community behaviour.
There are only a few aspects of how this behaves that we can control, and the subject of this discussion is:
Do you expect to be able to search the entire Community when you type into the search bar? Or do you expect only to search within where you have navigated to?
Let me explain.
When you're on the homepage, element14 Community and you type into the search bar, you will search across the Community site and you will see a filter list:
This has the default of searching 'all' and you can filter it by what the search considers the 'top' groups applications, in this case, we're searching for "Raspberry Pi".
Unfortunately, this can be limiting because if the group or application in the group you want to filter by doesn't appear, then you can't really select it and you're forced to go to an advanced search (by hitting enter).
If we instead browse to RoadTests & Reviews and type in "Raspberry Pi" the search will default to only within RoadTests & Reviews:
If you then want it to search 'anywhere' you have to click the filter 'anywhere'
Searching in this manner makes it easier to search within a specified group. As we have seen if we're on the homepage, it is harder to search within a specified group if the filter for that group does not appear in the drop-down search box.
The question to put to you is:
