Search the console
The magnifier in the console app bar — or ⌘K on a Mac, CtrlK elsewhere — opens a search palette over whatever page you are on, including the Besigner.
Type at least two characters. Results are grouped by kind, and clicking one takes you straight to it.
What it searches
Everything below is searched within the site you currently have open, plus your sites across the workspace:
| Group | What a row is | Where clicking it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Sites | A site you belong to in this workspace | The site dashboard |
| Pages | A screen on the open site | The screen's version view |
| Emails | An email screen on the open site | The email in the Besigner |
| Components | A reusable component | The component page |
| Layouts | A shared layout | The layout page |
| Templates | A site template | The template page |
| Content | A content collection | The Content page |
| Authors | A content author | The Content page |
| Workflows | A workflow | The Workflows page |
| Products | A product | The Products page |
| Redirects | A redirect, matched on its source path | The Redirects page |
| Services | A bookable service | The Bookings page |
A group only appears if your plan includes it. On the Free plan there are no workflows, products, services or redirects, so those groups are neither shown nor searched.
How matching works
It matches any part of a name, not just the beginning. Searching layout
finds "Main Layout"; so does lay, main, and main lay.
Ranking puts the closest match first: an exact name, then a name that starts with what you typed, then a word inside the name, then anything else. Pages and products can also be found by their slug or route, but a match on the name always ranks above a match on a slug.
Accents are ignored, so cafe finds "Café".
What it does not search
Being precise about this matters — an empty result should mean "you do not have one", not "search could not see it".
- Orders, bookings and contacts are not searchable. They are found on their own pages, which have their own filters.
- Media has its own, richer search on the Media page, including wildcards and searching by tag or custom field. See the media library.
- Other workspaces. Search only ever covers the workspace named in the page address you are on.
- Other people's sites. You only ever see sites you are a member of.
Why a group sometimes says it was only partly searched
To keep search fast and cheap, each group reads a capped number of items rather than your entire site. If a group is larger than that cap, the palette says so underneath the results — that line means there may be matches it did not look at, so try a more specific word.
Most sites never hit the cap.
If a group could not be read at all, it says that too, in red. That is a different thing from "no matches", and it is worth retrying or reporting.
