Search by Taxonomy

The taxonomy search capability allows you to search assets that have been classified according to a specific taxonomy or a category within taxonomy.

1. Go to the advanced search panel.

2. Locate the Filter Categories section under Narrow your Results.

3. Expand the node Filter Categories.

4. Choose Taxonomies from the drop-down list.

5. In the text box, type in the taxonomy or category to search for.

You can use one or more wildcards to specify the taxonomy or category.

If you enter just a wildcard in the text box, the entire list of taxonomies or categories is returned. However, if you leave the text box blank, then no search action is performed.

Note that a type-ahead feature is provided in this text box.

6. Add the taxonomy or category to the recipe by either clicking the plus button next to the text box or by pressing Enter. If required, add additional taxonomies or categories to the recipe by repeating step 5 and 6. You can delete entries from the recipe by clicking the delete symbol next to them.

7. You can optionally use the Browse option to narrow the search as you need. Do the following:

b. When you click the button, a Browse Taxonomies dialog appears which allows you to select the required taxonomies and categories.

c. Click the expand node next to any taxonomy to view the categorization tree.

You can expand or collapse the list of taxonomies, that is, to show or hide the list of categories in a hierarchy view. For example, you can show only the header for a specific taxonomy, say Countries, and display the complete list of categories in the hierarchy by clicking on the header.

You can configure the number of taxonomies to display in the hierarchy view using the CentraSite's expandable property. For procedures on how to configure, see Configuring CentraSite's Expandable Property.

d. Mark the checkbox beside the name of the taxonomies or categories that you wish to add to the search recipe.

CentraSite automatically adds the selected taxonomies or categories to the existing recipe entries, and returns the assets that match the specified search scope.

Note:

If at any time you want to abandon your unsaved search, just click the Cancel button.

Note:

The list of taxonomies displayed contains only the taxonomies that are currently browsable. For information on how to make a taxonomy visible to users, see the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .
