Setting Up the Search Widget

The Search widget allows your users to quickly search a specific space or group in your community, or the entire community.

1. Go to the place you own and click Manage > Overview Page to begin editing the place's Overview page. (If you're editing the community's Home page, you'll click your avatar in the upper right corner, and then Manage > Overview Page).
2. From the widgets list, select Content > Search Widget.
3. Drag the widget down into your layout area and drop it where you want it.
4. Click the small triangle in the upper right corner of the widget and select Edit this widget.
5. Use the title "Search Widget" or create your own, for example, "Search this Group" or "Search Me!"
6. Select the number of results to return in the search.
7. Select the place to perform the search. This can be any place in the community, or the entire community (which would be your "root" space).
8. Click Save Properties.
9. When you're finished making changes to your place's layout, click Publish Layout.
