Search Folders
Search Folders display the results of a search. When you open a Search Folder, the folder lists all of the items that match your search. You can create a Search Folder in any Folder in a Publication. You can create, delete, edit, localize and unlocalize Search Folders.
- Creating a Search Folder
Create a Search Folder to access a list of items that match search criteria. The Content Manager does not store items in the Search Folder; rather, the Search Folder references them from other Folders and Structure Groups within a Publication. You create a Search Folder by performing a Search and saving the query. - Editing a Search Folder
Edit a Search Folder to modify its name, metadata, or definition. You cannot change the Virtual Folder type. In a BluePrint, you can only edit a local Search Folder or a local copy of a shared Search Folder. You cannot edit a shared Search Folder. If the Search Folder is a local copy, you cannot change its definition. - Deleting a Search Folder
You can delete a Search Folder to remove the Folder from the Content Manager. Items in a Search Folder are not deleted when you delete a Search Folder, and still exist in their original Folder. - Localizing or unlocalizing a Search Folder
If a Search Folder is shared to a BluePrint Child Publication, you can localize the Search Folder to create a local copy. When you localize a Search Folder, you can edit the name and metadata. You cannot edit the type or search criteria. You can also unlocalize a Search Folder to use the shared Search Folder from a Parent Publication. - Using items in a Search Folder
When you access the list view of a Search Folder, you see items to which you have read, write, localize, or delete permissions for the storage Folder or Structure Group and items that meet the search criteria for the Search Folder. - Search Folders and Content Manager functionality
