Accessible Results
Only accessible content is displayed in your search results. This means that members will only see content that they have permission to view, promoting privacy and tailored search experiences. For instance, members can't search other members based on their email π
Targeted searches
The search engine goes a step further by allowing you to search directly within Forums or the Member directory page. This means you can narrow down your search to exactly where you want to look.
