Search the App and CMS

Users can search for content within your Thrive employee app, and Content Editors and Administrators can search within the Content Management System.

Our Search functionality makes it even easier for employees and content editors to quickly find the content they’re looking for. When someone starts to type their search, our search engine begins to look for and surface the strongest matches across all types of content. So rather than just searching page and content titles, you’ll be shown search matches within text widgets on pages, image captions, and even file names, to give a rich array of potential search results.

For our customers with Dynamic Content Translation enabled for their apps, you can also search for, and find content that has been translated into the various languages supported by your app!

There’s a bit more to our Search feature than “You can search for stuff…”

For Users of Your Thrive App

Accessible: A search is easily performed by tapping the new search icon right beside the notifications icon in your app.

Anywhere: Search is available on both your Thrive mobile app and webapp.

Smart Results: The search knows who you are, what permissions you have and what user groups you belong to and will only surface the results that you have access and permission to view. When viewing search results, the search feature also displays the number of ‘matches’ for your search terms helping to illustrate how many occurrences of your term appear within a result.

Dig Deeper: You can select filters for your search, such as searching only for content published in a certain timeframe, searching only for specific content types such as files or images, and only for content in specific languages if your app uses our Dynamic Translation feature. You can also set a filter to make the search only look for content titles should you wish.

Remember: The app remembers what you have previously searched for in the Content Management System (coming soon to mobile and web), so if you have a particular search to perform often you don’t have to type it in each time; just tap on it in the previous searches section.

For Content Editors and Admins in your Thrive CMS

As well as all the above also applying, the CMS search also has a few extras, such as:

Even More Helpful: Below the search bar, you can find tabs which show All Recently Published pieces of content (by any author), My Recently Published content (only content published by you), and My Recent Drafts (content that’s still in Draft status created by you).

Extra Filtering Options: As well as all the filtering options offered in the mobile app and webapp, in the CMS, you can also choose between searching for only Draft or only Published content.

Enhanced Search Results: The search results in the CMS will also show you where in the app (inside which list) the content can be found. In addition, the search result will also contain a link to view that content on your webapp, should you wish to see what that live content looks like in your app.
