How search works:
  • Punctuation and capital letters are ignored
  • Special characters like underscores (_) are removed
  • Known synonyms are applied
  • The most relevant topics (based on weighting and matching to search terms) are listed first in search results
Topics are ranked in search results by how closely they match your search terms
  • A match on the entire phrase you typed
  • A match on part of the phrase you typed
  • A match on ALL of the terms in the phrase you typed
  • A match on ANY of the terms in the phrase you typed

Note: Matches in titles are always highly ranked.

    Configure dynamic blocks

    Use dynamic blocks to use scripting or to pull information from the system. Dynamic blocks are where most of your content resides.

    Before you begin

    Role required: content_admin or admin

    About this task

    A good use of dynamic blocks is job postings. Store the postings in knowledge articles and display the postings with a dynamic block.

    Several dynamic blocks are predefined, including the following items.
    • New Content: Each of the new content blocks allows for creating blocks while editing content pages.
    • Clean Login: The default login page requesting user name and password, which includes a "Remember Me" check box. After the user logs in, this block triggers login rules.
    • Login: An area that allows a logged out user to log in and a logged in user to log out. This block is especially useful on publicly available content pages.
    • Search: The global text search field. Currently, global text search is the only form of search that can be included in a content page.
    • Search Results: An area for displaying global text search results.
