This topic is for Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) administrators and developers with administration access rights.

Go to SettingsTools > Search Configuration to set the search providers for your site. This configuration allows you to change the type of results the CMS global search bar returns.

CMS uses Optimizely Graph as its default internal search engine, which lets you access the following default providers. You can turn off a provider to exempt it from a search. Relevant search results are moved when appropriate.

  • Shared Blocks (from CMS) – Searches for CMS shared blocks.
  • Files (from CMS) – Searches for CMS documents.
  • Pages (from CMS) – Searches for CMS pages (including page content).
  • Jump to – Return menu items that IMenuProvider defined.
  • Shared Blocks (from Graph) – Searches for shared blocks from Optimizely Graph.
  • Files (from Graph) – Searches for documents from Optimizely Graph
  • Pages (from Graph) – Searches for pages from Optimizely Graph
