Advanced Search page

To access the advanced search tools: 

1. Perform a search on any page. Enter your keywords, then hit Enter.
   Alternatively, perform a blank search by putting your cursor in the search bar on any page, then hitting Enter.
   
   
2. The Search screen will open to a search results page 
   You’ll not only be able to see your initial search results, but also filter and refine your search using the following tab options:
   

   Locations	Posts Users Private Messages Places (top-level areas in the Community)
   Filters	Location (any area in the Community) Author (lists content by an author) Date (all time, day, week, year) Metadata (Solved or Kudoed content) Type of Post (forums, Knowledge Base, etc.) Contains... (images, videos, or attachments)
