Search

Search is one box across the suite — files, people, records and messages — with results filtered by what the person searching is allowed to see.

Before you start

  • Nothing. Search reads what the other modules hold.

What Search does

One search box across the suite.

01

Search across the suite

One query rather than one per module. It is the fastest route back to a record whose module you have forgotten.

02

Rely on permission filtering

Results are filtered by the reader’s permissions, so search cannot reveal the existence of something they are not allowed to open. A search box that leaks titles is a search box that leaks.

What it claims to do

The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.

  • Files, people, records and messages

Where it connects

The modules Search hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
