Question and Language Search Filters
You can search for questions by name, category, or language. When using the language search filter, the language searched is the question's default language. These filters work together so that only the questions that match the criteria are displayed when is clicked.
Category Search Filter
The category filter enables you to search by question category. Click the Select icon 
in the right-corner of the filter. This opens the Search Category pop-up.
Filters
The following filter options are available in the Search Category pop-up:
- Title - To filter the category results by title, enter a full or partial title in the field. The field accepts up to 100 characters. Unicode characters are accepted. If one or more parent categories have child categories, then the results display both parent and child categories as a list rather than displaying the hierarchy.
- Reference Number - To filter the category results by reference number, enter a full or partial number in the field. The field accepts up to 50 characters. Unicode characters are accepted. The results display all categories that match the search criteria. Note: This filter is only available for portals with the reference number feature enabled. This reference number feature is controlled by a backend setting that is disabled by default. To enable this setting, contact Global Customer Support.
- ID - To filter the category results by identification number, enter a full or partial number in the ID field. The field accepts up to 50 characters. Unicode characters are accepted. The results display all categories that match the search criteria.
- Search - Click the button to filter the results based on the search criteria entered in the filters.
- View Hierarchy - If a hierarchical relationship is defined for a category, then a plus icon displays to the left of the category title. Clicking the icon displays the child categories of the parent on a new page within the pop-up. Up to five levels may be available for each category.
