How to search within a page?

[Jonathan Watkins]

As a consumer of community content I want to be able to search within a "product" or "group" in the community, but it seems the search is global (across all community content).

@Jonathan Watkins you can browse tags in any collection in the sidebar, or construct your own query using a parameterized URL. For example, here are posts in the Jira collection with the "cloud" tag: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/tag/cloud/tg-p/category-id/jira

There are also lots of options for filtering your feed on the community homepage, if you haven't tried that yet! More on that here.

@Monique vdB Thanks... I think this makes sense but doesn't really help my specific use case.

In this instance, I'm trying to look through previous questions asked to the Trello community page: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello/ct-p/trello to see if my question has been answered already... but there's no search box or tags for me to search against... I think I'm looking for a natural language search anyway, not a tag search. Just feels like there should be. Sounds like it's not something Atlassian has implemented.

Can you go to the tag list Monique mentioned and do "Control - F" to perform a search?

@Jonathan Watkins I see what you're saying -- we do have a ticket in the backlog to restrict search by collection, because we know that would be useful! It's just not implemented today.

I would just search your question using the word "trello" in your search and if you don't find anything that looks right, you're safe to ask.

@Scott Theus The tag list for JIRA or...? The link to the tags for Tello span multiple pages... CTRL-F also just brings up my browser search... i want to search within the full discussion of the questions asked and answers.... Am I over complicating this?

@Monique vdB Got it! Thanks.

And on behalf of everyone who answers questions that are routinely asked....

Thanks for looking first!

@Jonathan Watkins and @Scott Theus and @Daniel Eads {unmonitored account} our dev just told me there's a workaround for this! Here's how to search in the Trello category. Just change the bolded part to whatever you want!

Thanks @Tyler T 👍🏼

You should be able to click "Explore" to filter by products, interests, and groups. I haven't found a tag cloud yet....

@Scott Theus here is the global tag cloud: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/forums/tagdetailpage/tag-cloud-grouping/tag/tag-cloud-style/frequent/message-scope/all/user-scope/all/tag-scope/all/timerange/all/tag-visibility-scope/public

Awesome, thank you!
