Searching articles in the Publisher Environment - The African Exponent
NOTE: Some searchboxes might not support some of these special queries.
If you are a publisher or blogger, you can perform advanced searches and apply filters in order to view a subset of articles.
The available filters are:
- author
- tag
- category
- region
- from (date)
- to (date)
Searching for an article
If you remember a keyword of the article, you can for articles that match it as you would normally do in other search boxes.
e.g. economies
Adding filters
Just searching using keywords might not yield any results, or they might yield long lists of results. You can use filters to make this more specific. For example, if you remember the category, you can add the filter like so:
economies, category: business
.
Note the comma and colon. The colon defines the filter, the comma is used to separate the filter blocks.
