Search is always available

A static header always appears while the user scrolls up or down the page. This header contains the site name, groups icon, search bar, and personal icons.

Search context is always visible

Search is context-sensitive in that it recognises the context it's being used in (such as a specific group or application) and returns results based on it. For example, people search assumes your context is the entire community.

Additionally, the results can be filtered by other parameters (application, groups, content or everywhere).

Search forum threads before creating new one

When typing a search in the context of a forum, Arm Community returns possible threads that might answer your question, or might provide the needed information.

Wildcard search for users and groups

Arm Community supports performing wildcard searches using question (?) or asterisk (&) for people and groups.

Searching for multiple terms

• If you want to search for multiple instances of a #hashtag, @mention, or textual references, you can simply type them into the search field.
  
• Typing a #hashtag term or @mention term (for example, #bryce @janeadams) into the search field will yield all results that contain those two terms. You can't get a list of all tags by typing # into the search field.
  
• Just typing two textual words into the search field will yield results containing those text references or #hashtag references (for example, typing #bryce canyon).
