- Description
- Keywords
- Tags
- Summary
- Teaser
- Path
- Link
- Asset Type
- Asset ID

- XML content
- Binary Large OBject (BLOB) data
Conducting a Full Search
To conduct a full search:
- Enter your search terms in the Search box in the top-right of the Cascade CMS interface and either press Enter or click the Go to Full Search link. The list of results will populate as terms are added.
- Only those assets for which you have read or write access will be listed.
- By default, 20 assets will be listed per page. To jump to another page of results, select a page number or click previous or next below the search results.
- Optionally, expand the Advanced Options menu to use the Site, asset types, and/or asset fields filters to further refine your list of results.
- Click an asset to view it or right-click an asset to perform actions on it with the context menu.
Search Tips
- To match a multi-word phrase like "ice cream", put quotes
""
around your search terms. - Use
?
as a single-character wildcard. For example, a search forfac?s
will return "facts" and "faces". - Use
*
as a multiple-character wildcard. For example, a search forfac*s
will return "facts", "faces", and "factories".
Replacing Content
The Replace Content feature allows users to quickly change multiple assets at once. To replace content:
- Select the assets you wish to update from the list of search results and click Replace Content at the top of the list.
- In the Replacement Text field, type the text you wish to replace the search terms with in the assets to be updated.
- Text replacement will replace partial matches in content. Replacing the word "app" will replace "apple".
- Text replacement is also case insensitive. Replacing the word "house" will replace "House" or "HOUSE".
- Click Replace.
Note - Content replacement is only available to users with access to the Administration area and write access to the selected assets. Content replacement will not be processed through workflow.
