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.

    CMS translation

    You can translate CMS sites by activating internationalization plugins and manually translating custom interface strings.

    Two tables support the translation of a CMS site into other languages.
    • Translated Name / Field [sys_translated]: Stores strings that are shared or commonly used within a site. These include menu section names, menu item names, site breadcrumb names, link names, and footer menu links. Internationalization plugins typically provide translations for these strings. See Localization settings .
    • Translated Text [sys_translated_text]: Stores unique string translations which you create when you manually translate interface elements. See Export and edit translation records.
