Search Results

The Search Results dialog displays pages and documents that meet the filter criteria specified in a Find or Choose operation. CommonSpot uses a weighted algorithm that counts search string matches in each standard metadata field separately, giving more weight to whole word matches, with additional points assigned to keyword or tag matches and search engine score.

Click to sort by Date or alphabetically by Title, Subsite location, or Score - the results ranking.

The Date column uses values defined by Select Date Options

Use Select Date Options to set the date that displays in the Date column. (Use the Date Restrictions search criteria to constrain results by specific dates.) Pick from the dropdown. A green checkmark indicates the current filter. Optionally choose from the following:
