Search

Have the ability to ‘Search’ for and find the information you are looking for with ease from content to people.

Configure Search

This functionality aims to improve the global search functionality. Currently, users are either not using the search function or need to find
and click on the search icon to open the search.
A more prominent search function would benefit users by implementing a search bar that is fully expanded by enabling this option.
This will:

• • • Display the search bar centrally within the top workbar, to make it easier to find and interact with across the site
    • Add a sense of assurance and reliability to users that the search function is a primary tool
