Search and find content

Modified on Thu, 2 Apr at 4:19 PM

The intelligent search function in Q.wiki uses advanced semantic technology. It recognizes synonyms, various spellings, and corrects small typos – so you get more accurate search results.

Benefits of the new search (from version 6.18)

Structured content categories: Content is clearly organized into wiki content and add-on modules.
Quick preview: Instant result preview speeds up your information search.
Content summaries: Each page provides a brief, context-specific summary.
Keyboard shortcut control: Efficient searching through simple keyboard combinations.

Quick search

Open the search using the search field in the left navigation bar or with a keyboard shortcut:

Tip: Press Ctrl + K (Windows) or ⌘ + K (Mac) to open quick search.

You immediately see your search results with the following information:

Content title
Content type (identified by icons)
Preview text
Responsible person
Last modified date
Status

Below that, you'll find a list of modules that provide search results. The search automatically distinguishes between wiki content and add-on modules.

Tip: Press ESC to close the search panel.
