Q: How do I limit my search to a Knowledge Base space?

Context

  • The Knowledge Base and its help system
  • I want to limit my Knowledge Base search to a single space

Answer

  • You can use special syntax in the search box to limit your search
  • The syntax to limit the search to a single space is spacekey:key where key is the space key identifying the space
  • To limit your search to a single space, you need to know the "space key" of the space
  • Some of the space keys in the Knowledge Base are:
Key Space
hd Help Desk Internal space (IS&T access only)
glossary Glossary of IT Terms (public)
istcontrib IS&T Contributions space (public)
mitcontrib MIT Community Contributions (public)

Examples

To search for the term "Apple Mail" only in the mitcontrib space, you would enter the following in the search box:

spacekey:mitcontrib Apple Mail
