Each type of search has its own Search Provider. A Search Provider allows you to search and filter content. Each Search Provider has a unique search token. A search token is a text string that you can use in the search field to search using only a specific Search Provider.
By default, all searches use Project, Hierarchy, and Settings Search Providers unless you exclude them.
Search provides additional opt-in Search Providers. Search ignores opt-in Search Providers unless you explicitly use them. Opt-in Search Providers differ from default Search Providers in the following ways:
You can only execute them using their search tokens. You cannot combine an opt-in Search Provider with any other Search Provider.
To perform a search using all default Search Providers, enter the search terms in the search field. Results appear as you type.
To perform a search using an opt-in Search Provider, prefix the search terms with the Search Provider’s search token.
Open the More(⋮) menu to view a list of Search Providers and their prefixes.
