Search | Visual Space

Use a space-scoped search when you know which community owns the work but not exactly where it lives. You will keep one query inside the current space, refine its accessible results, and then broaden the same search to **Global** when you need a wider view.

Use this walkthrough when you remember a filename, folder, or Visual Space document but not exactly where it lives. You will narrow Search to the Docs family, compare document and media matches, and open the right item in the Documents context available to you.

Use Global Search when you remember a name, phrase, or topic but not which space or content type owns it. This walkthrough helps you search broadly, narrow only when the results give you a reason, open the best match, and return to the same search session.

Search can look across Visual Space or stay within the space you are currently using. That choice changes the range of a query, but it never opens content that you could not already read. This distinction matters most when a familiar item is missing. The active scope may be too narrow, or your current access may not include the space, area, or conversation that owns the item. Search keeps both boundaries visible and applies them together.

Search gives you one place to discover accessible communities, people, conversations, and shared work across Visual Space. Enter a phrase once, then explore matching spaces, posts and articles, goals, events, Docs, messages, or profiles without first guessing which module owns them.

Search results help you turn a broad phrase into a useful set of matches. Start with [Search](search.md) for the full discovery picture, then use content, ranking, and time controls to bring the most promising results forward.

Search helps you find accessible communities, people, conversations, and shared work without first knowing which part of Visual Space owns them. Use this guide to understand the discovery experience, choose the right scope and filters, or follow a complete search journey.
