This guide will walk you through three key ways to search on the platform: using the Menu Search Bar, searching within Topic Pages and your Home Feed.
Menu Search Bar
The Menu Search Bar is your go-to tool for searching across all platform data. This search bar allows you to quickly locate articles, organization profiles, charts, reports, and more.
How to Use It:
Go to the top of the platform’s menu where you’ll find the search bar.
Type in a specific term, such as the name of an organization (e.g., "MIT") or a keyword (e.g., "artificial intelligence").
Press Enter to see a list of results.
What You Can Search For:
Organizations: Search by name or URL to pull up organization profiles.
Topic Pages: Use keywords to find topic pages that are relevant to your focus
By Keyword: Quickly find specific collections (lists/market maps), charts, reports, briefings, and people.
Topic Search
When you want to dive deeper into a specific subject, you can use the Topic Page Search. Topic pages allow you to explore curated collections of content related to a specific field or theme.
How to Use Topic Page Search:
Once on the topic page, you’ll find a search bar at the top of the page.
Type in relevant keywords or terms that are specific to the topic you’re interested in.
Press Enter to view results that are filtered for that topic.
Home Feed Search
The Home Feed Search allows you to search across multiple industries and topics at once. It’s ideal for users who want a broader view across various subjects, rather than being confined to a single topic page.
How to Access: The Home Feed is located in the Market Insights section of the platform. Once on the Home Feed, you’ll see a search bar at the top.
Search Across Multiple Topics: The Home Feed lets you toggle between different topics, so you can search across industries like education, technology, recruitment, and more. This is useful if your focus spans multiple areas of interest.
Try simple keywords or create more complex search queries like:
"micro credentials" to find content with that exact phrase.
education + credential to find results that include both terms.
