My Workspace
This Search lets you find users or community groups registered on
the Web site. After seeing the search results, you can add a
colleague or join a community group.
When you hover over a user or community group name link, profile
information appears. How much information appears depends on
your status and the profile settings of the user or group returned in
the results. For an explanation of when additional information
appears, see the Developer Manual section > “Community
Platform server controls” > “CommunitySearch server control” >
“Using Community Search Results” > “When is a User’s Profile
Accessible in Search Results”
The Community Search provides two types of searches:
• Directory - filter users by a letter in the alphabet. A user can
select whether to sort by first or last name. See
• Basic Search - Searches for users and groups on the site. See
”Performing a Basic User Search” on page 405
• Advanced Search - Searches based on individual or multiple
criteria, such as Tags, Display Name or Email. See ”Advanced
User Searching” on page 406
Performing a Directory Search
The Directory tab in a Community Search allows a user to filter the
list of users based on the selection of a letter in the alphabet. For
example, John wants to find all users whose first name begin with
the letter S. John navigates to the CommunitySearch control on his
site, clicks the Directory tab and selects First Name from the Sort
By list. Then, he selects the letter S from list of letters. Next, the
control displays a list of users who name begins with the letter S.
