Getting started
To get started, start typing in the Search bar and you'll see the first Search Predictions. The predictions have People, Channels, and Pages.
By toggling the different sections, you can see more results from the different sections. You can also filter the Search Results using the filter by section option on the right-hand side of the Search Results. These filters are dynamic and will only show relevant filters.
Different Search Sections
Pages
Searches through Happeo Page content that you have access to view. The search will index all content within widgets on Pages along with any hashtags that have been added to Pages.
Channels
Searches through all Happeo Channels that you are either a member of, can join or can request to join. From the search, you can go to the Channel, join a Channel or request to join a Channel.
People
Searches through all People and Groups within Happeo. Within the filters, you can choose if you would like to see People or Groups in the Search Results.

Quick filters
Quick filters are ways in which you can search faster, improving the time it takes to find results.
For example, when a quick filter like ‘people’ or ‘posts’ is applied, you will be taken directly to that section in the Search Results Overview.
Quick filters can also be used when searching within a specific Channel or Page.
Searching in Channels and Pages
On Channels and Pages, you can:
- Filter content directly
- Apply quick filters
- The quick filters will reset when you leave the current Channel or Page. Otherwise, they will stay enabled for other search queries
When you are viewing a Channel or a Page, by clicking on the search bar at the top of the page OR on the search option in the navigation, the search will automatically filter results within the Channel or Page.
If you wish to search through your Happeo in general, you can simply click on the X next to the Channel or Page name in the Search Bar.
Federated Search
