What is Global Search?
The Global Search feature is a search engine within the Sherpany environment that provides dynamic results.
This allows the user to search for specific words or phrases throughout Sherpany and find results across all the rooms, meetings, meeting documents, and library documents that the user has access to.
How to use Global Search?
To use the Global Search function, you can navigate to the top left of the screen and click on the search bar.
To start the research, type the specific word (3 character minimum), or phrase you need and click the enter button to start.
You will be able to
- Search by specific word or phrase,
- Refine the search results by changing tabs to search for meetings or documents. Likewise, you can filter your search by specific date, label, rooms and groups.
- Unselect "Search inside documents" at the top right, so the search will no longer include results from words and phrases inside documents.
Please note
- When using the Global Search function offline, you will only be able to search content that has been downloaded locally to your device.
- You will only be able to see results based on your access. If you are not an admin of the room, participant of the meeting or do not have permissions to see the documents, you will not see these in the search results.
- The search is also unable to show results regarding password-protected-files.
What are the limitations of Global Search?
The Global Search function is not able to show results from Topic Hub or comments.
